I am a strong leader who builds high performing teams; creates and implements innovative solutions to complex technical and business challenges. With over 12 years of experience as an engineer in high-tech industries like aerospace, automotive and robotics, I am well equipped to lead engineering efforts, be it hardware or software, to great success.
I enjoy solving unique and challenging problems and am well acquainted with the high-paced startup environment. I am accustomed to adopting different roles in a business and have dealt with a plethora of challenges, like conducting technical negotiations with customers, prototyping, project management, building a team, demonstrating product capabilities to prospective clients, designing products and developing manufacturing and market release plans.
Perpetual learning, integrity, excellence and ownership are the cornerstones that have helped drive my career. I consider myself an effective communicator within all levels of the organization and external, cultivating productive internal, customer and supplier relationships. Worked successfully with remote teams across multiple disciplines.
I thrive in environments where I can add real value, affect positive change and find new opportunities for improvement. A change agent who uses leadership by example to drive transformation. Anticipates and assesses risks, taking preventative action to mitigate. Motivated by tangible results, I am driven by a strong sense of urgency the tech environment thrives in.
I have practical experience in engaging, recruiting and developing talent. Including succession planning for technical positions.
