Bio

- I am a results driven builder -- of people, teams and products. - I've led teams of 5 to 200+ engineers, product managers, project managers and product marketers working on cutting edge consumer products for companies like Motorola, HTC and Sony. - I am passionate about converting complex high-value problems into simple, human experiences. - I believe in the power of ''why'' -- because if everyone knows why they are doing something, they are empowered to take the initiative required to achieve it. - I believe deeply in the power of humility -- recognizing that I don't yet know everything -- combined with confidence -- knowing that nothing within the laws of physics is impossible. - I believe in aggressive risk management because risk is correlated with reward; manage the risk and the team can capitalize on bigger and bolder opportunities. - I am passionate about learning -- understanding the fundamentals, being technically competent and willing to do what I ask others to do. - I love working with people that are committed to the same ideals, that know things that I don't know, that are passionate about the results and that put the team before themselves. - I have worked in every role in a hardware company from defining strategy, architecture, portfolio, products, financial plans and go-to-market to building a nimble, results driven team, selling and closing strategic deals, leading engineering, ops, sales, driving and getting results to writing code and reviewing schematics; essentially the scope of CPO, COO, CTO, CSO and CEO.
