Summary

With over 30 years of international work experience in the semiconductor industry, including IC manufacturing, organic electronic materials, optoelectronics, and MEMS, I have consistently demonstrated expertise as both an engineer and leader. Throughout my career, I have successfully overseen numerous large-scale projects from conception to prototyping to successful product launches. These achievements result from meticulous and thoughtful management of teams in R&D and high-volume production environments, such as Global Foundries, Texas Instruments, TSMC, and Digital Corp. Currently serving as a work center lead in Photolithography at Raytheon, I thrive as a front runner by incorporating intentional leadership strategies and interpersonal skills into my strong technical background.
