Companies and teams large (Microsoft, AMD, Fujitsu) and small. Now at MathWorks, the makers of MATLAB, Simulink and Polyspace.

I manage a team of 75 exceptional product marketers, product managers and industry marketers. We are responsible for the MATLAB based product line which includes AI, Controls, Computational Finance and many other products. (about half of the company’s $1.4B revenue) We cover much of the technology platform including licensing, cloud and SaaS offers, documentation, and community. We also manage a program which makes it easy for startups to adopt our software, which has grown consistently since I started it in 2013. I manage the financial services marketing team directly. We see opportunity in climate finance and model risk management (bringing expertise gained from safety critical industries). Climate finance is an area that gives me hope for the future. The engineering side of our business is creating wonderful new technologies, but it is climate finance that will create the funding needed for deployment at scale. Yes, we are hiring.

NCMS helps US manufacturers through various sorts of collaborations. http://www.ncms.org I first became involved with NCMS while at Microsoft on the topic of bringing modeling and simulation to small and medium sized manufacturers. The challenge and opportunity of reinventing manufacturing is both important and fascinating. Its a privilege to have this view into the leading edge.
