Cloud Solutions & Services ▪ Cybersecurity ▪ Professional Services Rallying teams around a common vision and mission to reach for an inspirational ‘North Star’ has been the key to my 20+-year career in the high-tech industry. The beauty of this industry is that it's provided me the opportunity to be in a constant state of learning—taking on new challenges, building new relationships, and delivering results—earning me a series of growth opportunities through diverse leadership roles at Intel. Whether challenged to lead a global TOP sponsorship program with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), start-up and lead new businesses or strategic initiatives, and/or ignite revenue and profit growth—I have developed the strategies and tactics that increased value as measured by revenue, profitability, and competitiveness. Highlights of my achievements include: ► Led Intel’s position as a technology leader, delivering the most innovative Olympics in history, Tokyo 2020, defining and executing three value vectors—business impact, technology leadership, and partner engagement. ► Selected by Intel's leadership to build a technology program to support its corporate CSR initiative, establishing its Pandemic Response Technology Initiative, and leading a $50M investment to deploy solutions in education, health and life sciences, and economic recovery. ► Led the strategic consolidation and integration of Intel’s security assets— strengthening its leadership position by developing and delivering eight major security solutions. ► Established and led Intel’s global professional services organization to deliver $1B in impact to its core business over a seven-year period. ► Identified and capitalized on market and roadmap opportunities to drive double-digit CAGR growth for Intel’s VPro® platform—in a challenging PC market. While these accomplishments are reflective of my entire career, equally important is my leadership and collaboration with my alma mater, Purdue University. I have served and serve on advisory councils with the School of Industrial Engineering, and College of Engineering. In 2020, I was honored with a Distinguished Engineer Award for my achievements—which included the creation of a certificate program for cybersecurity education.
