- Led the engineering team for handset manufacturer’s first successful domestic digital telephone, which sold 500K units per month. This phone reinstated the brand at Verizon and Sprint, which had been downgraded due to its failure to deliver winning digital phones.

In the NPI arena, drove the two most ambitious surface coil suites in the company’s history, which changed the competitive game according to the Premium product manager. Saved millions of dollars of service expense by targeting root cause analysis of failures and using the CAPA system to eliminate the problems.
- Led integrated hardware and software teams in the development of every portable phone targeted for the Japanese market for a major, handset manufacturer. Understands software requirement creation, defect remediation and all aspects of software testing.
