Some resumes are more interesting than others. Most have too little info on the most important aspects of work.

In all my years of working, I am proudest of one thing: the success of an honest comparison-test policy at Car Audio And Electronics. It would not have succeeded without the excellent support of product testers such as Joel Cohen, the late Peter W. Mitchell, David L. Clark, and others….. and it would have failed if I had not had the support of Bill Curtis (then president of CurtCo) and Roman Beyer (then publisher). Honesty was the best policy. The readers loved it. Even advertisers came to respect it. More readers = lower cost per thousand = more advertising. We told the truth….. and even though the magazine was not free….. honesty worked better than pussyfooting. I am proud of that. Geeks can be honest, and honesty can be powerful and profitable.

Passion for innovative competitive strategy is a common thread through-out my 20+ year career in engineering and research management. This drive has resulted in a 500% increase in targetable market size, 90% decrease in development costs, and changes in the Unix industry to open that market for new products. One of my characteristic techniques is to use industry standards processes and open source software projects to gain an unfair competitive advantage. Another characteristic technique is the creation common infrastructures that allow more products to be rolled out faster at a significantly lower cost. These approaches have allowed my companies to hobble competition, satisfy additional customer requirements with our own products and penetrate a broader set of markets.

A natural leader and manager, I have led cross-functional and cross-corporation teams of 10 to 100 participants to deliver product-lines in the e-business, e-commerce, e-medical, management and wireless software industries. I have broad experience in engineering, research, product and program management. As a startup company CEO, I have developed marketing campaigns, secured financing and closed Fortune 50 sales.

I offer your company a combination of deep technical skills, broad business acumen and effective organization management. I look forward to talking with you about your position.

“Brian leads exceptional teams to accomplish exceptional results.”
