I am a technology leader with 39 years of experience leading global engineering and IT organizations. Grounded in an MBA and a Master of Science in Information Technology, I have led organizations and leaders through strategic transformations that support growth and operational efficiency at global public companies. I bring nearly four decades of experience on how to make change last, build strong leaders, and earn trust through honest communication.
As a Senior Director at Qualcomm and Broadcom, I led global engineering IT organizations through periods of rapid growth. At Qualcomm, I delivered $12 million per annum in operational cost savings and improved service levels while engineering client headcount grew dramatically. I also transformed a struggling applications development organization at Broadcom resulting in significant improvement of engineering stakeholder satisfaction and delivered $15 million in savings through a new storage strategy. Over 25 years at Texas Instruments, I held engineering and IT roles, developing a global compute strategy that raised asset utilization from 20% to 70% and avoided $20 million in costs. I led a physical design team through two years of roughly 50% quarter over quarter ASIC revenue growth. Having led teams across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, I have learned that building credibility and trust is what makes leadership last, and I take pride in developing leaders who earn the same level of followership.
As a coach, I work with leaders growing into bigger roles and responsibilities. I help them fully understand their core strengths and default leadership style, and identify the growth opportunities that will maximize their future potential. I listen intently, offer support, and am direct when a challenge is what will move you forward.
Clients say I listen extremely well, bring clarity to complex situations, and provide practical, actionable suggestions for improvement.
When I’m not coaching, I love road cycling. It is therapeutic for both mind and body, and I have made many great friends cycling in groups. I love to travel and immerse myself in different cultures. I have a curiosity about people and places, a quality that I bring to my coaching practice. I look forward to getting to know you!
