I pride myself in my ability to understand a company's vision and develop an effective road map. Over the last 8 years I have excelled at product commercialization with dozens of companies across defense, high tech, clean tech, industrial and transportation markets.This includes early stage stage start-ups to fortune 500. My success is derived from a strong technology/product development background combined with broad business develop and management experience. My experience benefits from two distinct career paths 1) design and development of advanced combat vehicles and technologies; and 2) business development within the Silicon Valley entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem. As a result of these two paths I have developed a unique skill set and extensive professional network across many market segments and verticals. I can coordinate or provide strategic planning, funding, engineering, manufacturing and global logistics. My core skills are in systems engineering, program management and business development. I created GLJ Group in 2005, generated over $300M in new business for my clients and developed products ranging from B2B eCommerce solutions, wind and solar power, combat vehicles to mass transit. I created South Valley Angels in 2011 to help fund early stage companies and promote innovation.
