I consider it a privilege to have served some of the top companies in America, ranging from $500M to $47B global businesses, managing operational budgets of up to $90M, and capital expense budgets of up to $85M, and teams of up to 725 employees, for the automotive, government services, consumer, and technology sectors and A123 Systems is one of the finest employers I have ever served. As an operational & technical leader, I am first and foremost a mentor and manager. To attract, recruit, and mentor teams that establish an R&D infrastructure that has repeatedly resulted in accelerated performance and led to stock valuation growth. To accomplish results in today’s modern R&D environment, one must conceive, implement, and closely manage organizational changes that develop the finest products with streamlined processes, controls, and contemporary value.This is how today’s modern R&D leaders affect revenue and valuation growth.
