PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
MOTOROLA Inc., Mobile Device Business 1990 – 2009
Manager, Project Management – Consumer Experience Design (2004 – 2009)
Program Management
• Implemented project management tools during unification of design groups. Fostered teamwork,
built morale and enabled the successful completion of projects with greater complexity and value.
Associated productivity gains justified investment in the project management team.
• Hired and supervised a domestic project management team in Chicago while overseeing project
management staff in Beijing, Seoul and London accounting for $40 million in annual projects.
• Managed $5 million annual planning process involving a dozen skills across international staff of
100. Resolved cascading critical path issues to mitigate risk and deliver interrelated deliverables.
• Collaborated with sector PMO on implementation of a corporate standard resource planning
tool. Coordinated point of view and led business process changes within organization of 500.
• Introduced control points during project initiation to limit scope creep resulting in reduction of
non-value staff effort by 50%.
Operations Management
• Developed and maintained processes to overcome geopolitical divides. Creation of centralized
forums between multiple functions across Europe, Asia and the Americas enabled transparency,
collaboration, more effective risk management.
• Established metrics and assessed strategic vs. tactical utilization across a staff of 500 and $65
million budget for guidance in executive management decision making.
• Documented a $10 million R&D tax credit which was successfully reviewed during an IRS audit.
• Collaborated with product managers, regional marketing and design teams to establish processes
that clarified requirements and accelerated delivery of revenue generating product line extensions.
• Facilitated quality assurance reviews and maintained list of corrective action requirements.

Mechanical Engineering Program Manager – Worldwide Mechanical Development (2001 – 2004)
Strategic role
• Represented the organization in strategic portfolio planning. Assessed project needs against
resource constraints inclusive of technical, availability and priority considerations.
• Developed and validated resource utilization models for use in identifying portfolio peak needs
vs. resource availability leading to portfolio planning optimization.
• Collaborator on several strategic component roadmap teams including battery and display.
Advocated use and coordinated input within mechanical engineering and industrial design
communities. Regularly met with core team to consider change requests and associated affects.
Tactical role
• Led creation of aesthetically improved battery labeling. Implementation across all new product
lines dramatically improved perceived quality without impact to cost or distribution.
• Coordinated quality root cause analysis, resolution status and daily reporting to executives during
expedited series of platform products. Supported teams with onsite technical presence in Asia at
suppliers and production line to provide immediate assessments and recommended resolutions.
• Represented successful ISO9000 site audit of product development and training processes.
Mechanical Engineering Section Manager – Technology and Products Realization (1998 – 2001)
• Recruited and directed seven engineers for a new product platform targeting 50 million annual
unit volume. Mentored two additional teams: one domestic and one in Asia.
­ Collaborated with marketing and consumer research to define key product attributes.
­ Defined CAD techniques that enabled parallel product development across three engineering
teams for design of two mechanical product variants.
­ Established new benchmarks for time to market, factory volume ramp and in-field reliability.
• Conducted engineering feasibility analysis for next generation hardware platforms and provided
project estimation information to customer account teams.
Mechanical Engineer – Technology and Products Realization (1990 – 1997)
• Contributed to the engineering, certification, factory launch and line extension maintenance of
cellular phone products and full vehicle accessories, including the DynaTAC and MicroTAC Elite.
• Designed systems and sub-assemblies for mechanical articulation, heat transfer, RF performance,
acoustic constraints, static electricity protection, reliability and low cost manufacturability.
• Engineered and qualified components for thin molded custom injection molding, compression
molding and sheet metal stampings. Approved tooling design, conducted on site inspection
periodically during tool construction and validated component manufacturability to specification.
• Specified and sourced custom electro-mechanical components including LCD displays, flex
circuits, connectors, switches, acoustic transducers and coil cord cables.
