I spent over eight years in three software startups, raising capital and leading product, marketing, brand, and sales. All three start-ups crossed the chasm and became commercial successes in their target markets because of my team's tenacity and single-purpose vision.

I spent six years creating a new printing technology that I refined for low-cost, high-volume manufacturing. The product defined a new market and became an overwhelming financial success, based on the tight integration of my technology team with the sales and marketing teams in the company.

For a global hardware/software company, I defined product and service offerings for office automation growing to the number one position against entrenched competitors in both the global imaging and email markets.

As a consultant to companies across a variety of industries, I have helped clients free up cash; get better commercial outcomes from their current products; find stellar ideas bouncing around their R&D Labs, productize them and bring them to market; and helped them create an innovation culture across the company that substantially improved their commercial performance.
