Bio

I am a senior executive with a demonstrated history of helping companies improve the effectiveness of their organization. I have proven experience in solving problems such as the consistent failure to deliver quality products on schedule, high turnover, morale problems, and recruiting difficulties. I execute effectively across a broad range of responsibilities, from advising and mentoring inexperienced leaders to collaborating with other senior executives to establish and implement a winning corporate strategy. For the past several years I've focused on working with Chinese software and software outsourcing companies to help them approach western markets more effectively.

Personal slogan or motto

To aim is not enough, you must hit!

Areas of expertise

I'm a professional engineering manager. I can still write software, but I prefer to work with others to enable them to be more productive and effective. I can interact successfully at all levels of the corporation from the Chairman of the Board to the line employees. As much as any westerner can claim to, I understand how to do business in China, and how to help Chinese companies to compete in the global market.

Professional History

CEO, Spinnaker Advisory Group

Private, 21-50 employees, Consulting industry

Formed a team to address the issues that prevent companies from achieving their maximum potential return on investment. Our group analyzed each situation, made recommendations to address the problems and helped execute the changes. We also had a special practice that targets organizations requiring a virtual corporate development group, this practice evolved to providing consulting to Chinese software and outsourcing companies interested in western markets. I was responsible for all aspects of corporate direction and positioning. The company was self-funded and had an extensive client list (available on request).
