Why did I get into technology in the first place? Technology changes the world. So if that is why I got into technology...what do I like to do? Whether leading a team or advising an independent venture, my focus is framing the right problems and finding solutions that deliver value to customers, partners, and shareholders. My goal is excellence in every aspect of my projects. • Excellent customer relationships. • Excellent products and services. • Excellent people, teams, and processes. • Excellent business performance. What do I believe? People come first, the reality is everyone has something to contribute. I have sat with global leaders and with the homeless and I have learned from each of them. I bring openness and inclusiveness to all parts of my life. I think that is the core of my success.
