BIOGRAPHY

Joined Siemens in 2014 to provide wafer fab and assembly/test site MES and equipment automation expertise. Thereafter became VP of the Semiconductor Industry leading a team that provides thought leadership and practical solutions for semiconductor lifecycle management, package design/simulation flow, manufacturing, and enterprise quality.
Prior to joining Siemens, held executive positions in APC engineering, services management and software product management at Applied Materials. During my tenure at AutoSoft (owned by Daifuku) prior to Applied, was vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. Over the course of a 30-year career in the semiconductor industry, I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with brilliant executives to realize their digitalization goals. Currently living in Portland, Oregon with my wife Satoko. When not keeping busy with work you can find me playing tennis, cycling or scuba diving.
