solid strategic leadership
entrepreneur, leading the creation of new startups, technologies and products

 

Innovative Entrepreneur and Senior Executive founding startup teams, enabling technologies and directing multidisciplinary product groups.  I have more than 15 years experience in all phases of strategic planning, disruptive research, delivering products, meeting specifications and driving operations under fabless quality systems.

Here you can find examples of my work, current projects, and my biography. My work has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today and published in many journals, books and conferences.  The patents my teams have developed are responsible for game changing products, have spun off several successful startup companies and been directly responsible for over $85 million in licensing revenue and venture funding. 

My passion for what I do continues to grow each and every day.  I have steadily progressed in responsibility and my favorite projects always start with intense technical curiosity and some healthy terror over its scope.  I hope you enjoy reviewing my projects, patents and papers. Feel free to contact me with any comments and questions.  To see the latest news click here for my Twitter updates.
