Before DynoSense, I managed Savitron, Inc., which provided engineering and consulting services.

Prior to Savitron, I was the global director of program management at Sanmina-SCI Corporation (a leading EMS provider with operations in 45 countries), where I helped increase the mechanical systems division‘s revenue >30% and raise customer satisfaction to >97%.

 

Before then, I built an electronics and manufacturing consultancy from zero to >$20 million in sales over 4 years despite the 2008 downturn.
