A seasoned veteran in the capital equipment industry with extensive experience as both a leader and a designer in the complete development cycle, starting with the initial customer contact, and continuing through installation and subsequent support, of complex machinery for the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries. Given my dual ME/EE education, technical understanding of complex systems, and the ability to explain them to non-technical people, comes naturally. I have considerable experience utilizing resources for best results, and reworking organizations for optimum alignment with corporate needs. Along with my cost reduction expertise, I have experience leading cross-functional teams that include: Sales, Marketing, Accounting, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Test, and Field Service.
