End-to-end ownership
Product definition, requirements, roadmap, execution, validation, certification, launch, and sustaining.
Senior Technical Product & Program Leader
I turn complex connected-hardware ideas into products customers can trust.
20+ years leading consumer electronics and wireless programs from early concept through EVT, DVT, PVT, certification, launch, and mass production.
About
Product judgment grounded in technical execution.
I lead at the intersection of product, engineering, manufacturing, certification, and customer experience. My background spans smartphones, wearables, IoT devices, Wi‑Fi gateways, DOCSIS cable modems, hotspots, and connected-device portfolios.
I am most effective when the work is ambiguous, technically complex, and dependent on strong alignment across internal teams and external partners. I create clear plans, surface risk early, make practical tradeoffs, and keep teams focused on the customer and the launch.
