• Leading Change • International Sales • Top Secret/SCI
EXPERIENCE
Strategic Planning. Led strategy development and oversaw implementation to add Ballistic
Missile Defense as a new Navy Mission Area. Coalesced international support around a vision
for future collaborative development of active-RADAR missiles. Introduced active RADAR
missiles into the surface navy, with pre-planned mission expansions written into initial
requirements. Implemented a nation-wide Storage Area Network (SAN)-based distributed
engineering architecture to reduce development costs, provide support to deployed forces and
position a key engineering station for future product and mission growth. Implemented formal
strategic planning processes and accountable agents at each previous position. Engaged in
updating professional society business model to better align with current generation value
propositions.
Program Initiation. Successfully began two separate $800M+ missile development programs as
Program Manager. Built consensus, developed requirements and successfully captured funding.
Developed international funding strategies and work share frameworks. Initiated $300M of new
advanced RADAR development and system integration. Experienced leveraging IRAD and
corporate kick-starter contributions. Opened and operated a franchise sub shop for six years
(1995-2001) with the unit remaining in business today.
Program Turnaround. At NATO Seasparrow, took over a broken production line and within two
years, doubled previous production records and tripled historical production rate. Reduced open
technical deviations by 80%. Awarded one of six OSD Defense Standardization Awards for
infrastructure reduction resulting from implementation of flexible factory initiatives.
Transitioned the program infrastructure from a production-funded model to an in-service model,
negotiating new international Memorandum Of Agreement, to ensure future sustainability.

Implemented a new continuous development model for large-scale software applications (multi-
million lines of code). Utilized common-source library principles, which reduced software
maintenance and spiral development costs by 40%. Improved under-performing engineering
station productivity metrics by 29% while increasing customer satisfaction rating to 98%.
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
• 2014-2015 Deputy Program Executive, Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense. Responsible for day-
to-day operation of a $2B/year enterprise and management of a 600-person workforce. Led a
product-focused reorganization to establish clear and accountable lines of authority for work

developing the next generation of American engineers. Aid in implementing a new business
model to address current challenges to professional societies.
• 2010-2013 Technical Director and Major Program Manager, Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense.
Implemented a fundamentally new development model for large (multi-million lines of code)
software development, resulting in over 40% savings. Successfully transitioned a new missile
development program into production at $500M/year. Developed a vibrant technical engineering
matrix of 200 engineers and aligned internal engineering practices and products with external
stakeholders.
• 2008-2009 Project Manager, NATO Seasparrow Surface Missile System Project. Led a 12-
nation military and industrial consortium supporting over 230 naval ships worldwide.
Implemented flexible-factory initiatives which resulted in $40M of immediate cost avoidance
and returned $8M/year of additional savings. Doubled production yields and tripled production
rates.
• 2006-2007 Commanding Officer, Surface Combat Systems Center. Managed a 500 member
workforce which generated over 10% of the county GDP. Produced a 29% increase in facility
productivity. As a member of the County Strategic Planning Council, negotiated zoning plans
