Support business development engagements as a technical representative of the company.

Anticipate internal and external friction points, and rally resources to solve problems before they occur.

Oversee field testing (planning, logistics, execution) of new and modified products and ensure seamless communication among stakeholders to rapidly field final product versions.

Compose white papers, proposals, and reports for customers and stakeholders to create new business and communicate progress for ongoing business.

Skills, Background and Experience
