As a technologist and business strategist, I build and lead world-class R&D and Product Management functions, driving the profitable growth of global manufacturers.
My expertise is in spearheading all phases in the R&D and commercialization process for advanced new technologies. Data-oriented, I continually seek new and improved processes and employ a disciplined approach to strategy and product planning. I’m known for a high level of emotional intelligence, situational fluency and personal drive required to work effectively across diverse functions and markets.
An insightful leader with a talent for building high performing teams, a few of my contributions include: inventing or co-inventing a multitude of patents (see link at bottom of page), including product that underpins about 80% of Guardian’s coating sales worldwide; diversifying product lines which enable companies to survive and thrive during economic downturns; providing product management and marketing leadership driving sales and profits.
