PLM represents an essential set of methods, tools and technologies in our feedback controlled, integrated design / manufacturing / assembly / zero-defect focused quality / re-engineering / recycling world. Without PLM we cannot implement true sustainable green engineering principles. Without us deploying and practicing PLM our competitors can win! In more detail, these are the related areas I am an expert of: He is a Full Tenured Professor of Engineering Design, Manufacturing, Industrial and Management Systems at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) at NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology), with an additional faculty appointment with NJIT's IT (Information Technology Program), as Professor of IS & IT.

I have the opportunity to build a PLM implementation at the world's largest beauty company from the ground up. This was successful even in light of budget, resource, and political challenges.

I implemented PLM systems (full program: starting from business objectives, running supplier selection and implementing till user adoption) in several companies. I have a long experience in embedded systems (Telecom experience, consumer electronics and technology experience) and this has evolved in IoT systems and fully aware what's happening in that world (embedded technologies, security, wireless access including technologies like Lora etc...)

I have 20 years PLM experience in Fortune 500, midsize private and multiple startups. As Vice President of Product Development and Delivery at OtterBox, I gained invaluable experience in leading a broad cross functional team in a VERY fast development cycle that depended on world class PLM capabilities to ensure predictable outcomes. I have PLM leadership experience in semiconductors, alternative energy, consumer electronics and CPG industries. I'm passionate about the value and importance of mature PLM capabilities (software, process and culture).

I work for a global consulting company which is ranked 5th on the CIMData PLM service provider list. This provides me an excellent insight into what customers are asking for. I also manage our alliance with a major PLM technology company and get a view of the vision they are driving towards.
