Program leadership · Technology & new business

Lead across disciplines.
Deliver from strategy to operations.

What I bring

I bring technical understanding, business judgment, and data analysis to the programs and teams I lead.

Technical understanding I developed robot vacuum cleaners as an R&D engineer and hold 18 technology patents, with a bachelor’s in engineering and a master’s in mechanical engineering.

Business judgment I built business strategy and company-wide new-business strategy and reported them to top management, supported by an MBA.

Data analysis I applied data analysis in a smart factory project and completed data analysis projects in a master’s in applied data science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
