VP Engineering - Edge Infrastructure

Greater St. Louis

About

My passion is to influence and lead large-scale technology projects, and to transform emerging innovation into measurable business advantage. My management approach is based on the belief that the successful delivery of solutions is performed by people, not "resources", who do their best work in small teams, empowered to make decisions independently, focused on frequent milestones, and with the benefit of an overarching design vision. My work is marked by a willingness to embrace innovation to solve problems, intelligent risk-taking, collaboration on an international scale, and personal accountability.
