• Critical thinker who rejects the notion of default approaches. Every situation, no matter how familiar, warrants fresh thinking about the business and technology environment, the people involved, and new innovations that could be applied. Transformative opportunities are lost when people automatically do something the way it's always been done.
• Adept at making connections across complex ideas, and explaining them to a diverse group of constituents, from company executives, to industry analysts, to product development and marketing teams, to sales teams, and to customers. It's a complicated world that we work in. Making sense of it, and translating that to others, is beneficial.
• Determined, open-minded problem solver who relishes the exercise of figuring out how to overcome new business and technology challenges.
• Empathetic teammate and collaborator, who recognizes the value of his colleagues' diverse viewpoints, and knows that we gain strength and understanding from supporting their views, even if they're different from my own.
• Determined to mine the insights of others, whether to bolster my positions, or to challenge myself to make sure that I'm considering all angles in how I approach a problem. I'm smart and experienced enough to solve a lot of problems. I'm wise enough to know how smart and experienced the people around me are also.
• Communicator and listener who sometimes writes too-long emails because he enjoys explaining things, and takes satisfaction in creating understanding, rather than kicking the can down the road or checking off a box. Voracious note taker determined to hear what others are saying, and learn from it.
• Proven track record of innovation, bringing research projects to market, and adapting existing products for SaaS, OEM and appliance delivery.
• Equally fascinated by unique customer situations, the technology that can be applied to those environments, and the business challenges in bringing a solution to market.
