and two products that were languishing without completion.

• Solved a Thermal Problem that was causing Overfill Sensor Product Failures that had gone unresolved for 10

Years. Applied for and received a US Patent on the technology. Redesigned product has been evaluated by

third party yielding a predicted failure rate of 1 safe failure per 1000 Years (1 unsafe 57,000 Years).

• Built Engineering Team and had both delayed products in successful Beta sites within 12 Months.

• Leveraged temperature sensor redesign into line of overfill sensors for Chemical Products.

• Initiated and completed effort to independently assess company products for Safety Integrity Level (SIL)

Rating enabling Major sales to British Petroleum.

• Defined and designed new field analyzers for both Vehicle and Loading Gantry Safety equipment.

• Overseeing re-evaluation and redesign of complete company products line for latest Hazardous Location

Safety Approvals.

• Made customer visits and won major business in South Africa, Belgium, and France.

Directed nationwide Client Engineering and Networking Programs for a $300M Business Unit.

• Created a center that designed, modeled, and deployed The Home Depot Wireless Network, modeling

50,000+ access points in 1,700+ sites in seven months.

• Designed and implemented a Root Cause Analysis Program focusing on failures in client specific

environment and developed avoidance strategies that reduced failures by more than 30%.

• Co-developed a software offering which allows Wang Legacy Clients to run their software unaltered on

Industry Standard Servers creating a $10M+ Revenue upside and significantly reducing client migration risk.

• Transitioned $20M Operational Advanced Network Division into revenue generating VOIP, Converged

Communications, and Wireless Service Delivery profit center.

• Designed and implemented a radical new service model which won Getronics a $36M contract to support

200,000 assets for the largest school district in the United States.

• Developed an in site failure prediction program that evaluated new equipment buys for clients like Target

Stores and The Home Depot that influenced $40M in equipment procurements.

Manufacturer of Computer and Office Automation Products

Led the Business and Product Development to maximize the profitability of Wang’s proprietary product set.

• Assumed the leadership of an inwardly focused Operating System group and re-focused it on client and

business needs resulting in a six fold increase in sales and successful Y2K transition for 100,000+ users.

• Pioneered a product strategy that produced the industries broadest series of in-box performance upgrades

which increased revenues by 50% while maintaining client presence and streamlining product offerings.

• Developed two more generations of increasingly powerful computers that represented the core of Wang’s

$3B in annual revenue.

• Developed a software licensing strategy which prevented unlicensed software usage resulting in $3M in

revenues from unlicensed users associated with Y2K and provided ongoing IT auditing capabilities.

• Introduced a Premium Service Solutions that notified clients worldwide of software problems immediately

upon identification, provided workaround, successfully resulting in preventing business interruption and

expense of security breach.

Led Product Strategy and Development for Wang’s high end minicomputer products.

• Program Management and overall technical responsibility of networking, applications, hardware and software

development.

• Invented a system of loosely coupled minicomputers in response to client needs which increased performance

16 fold and won a US government contract for $24M and two US patents.

• Led a pilot manufacturing plant that successfully introduced products to six international manufacturing

operations.

• Developed and received two US Patents for a loosely coupled network of peer computers that quadrupled

performance capabilities available to clients.

• Designed, and implemented the delivery of Wang’s First Multi-processor product.

• Pioneered Wang’s entry into use of ASIC devices and developed process and standards used for all subsequent

designs.

Hardware Design and leadership of Engineering Design Teams.

• When presented with a must ship date and a power system that would not pass UL. Developed a novel power

supply architecture which was the basis for all future Wang designs.

• Invented a “on the fly” verify for disc controllers which significantly improved throughput and data integrity.
