Successful Development & Launch
Products and systems that excite the customer, increase sales, and bring a feeling of satisfaction and success to your employees … Easy to envision, not always so easy to execute. Things can spiral out of control rather quickly. Long hours spent planning, designing, implementing, testing, alpha trials, fine tuning, and re-swizzling functionality and features as you iterate through changing requirements.
Follow that with launch planning: marketing, advertising, channel rollouts, beta programs, pricing and promotions just to name a few.
Sometimes you are fortunate and have the right resources and skill sets onboard to address all the various critical success factors. Other times – some external assistance may be in order to ensure schedules are met, the scope will satiate the customer’s needs, cost targets are maintained, and a quality product that meets specifications and customer needs will result.

We specialize in product development and product management for the software and technology space. Bringing over 30 years of experience to the table in various executive roles, primarily in product and systems development, I offer the following:
- A balanced business perspective and technology vision.
- The ability to lead diverse technical teams in various disparate geographies.
- Delivery of innovative products, systems, and services that exceeded customer expectations.
- Significant sales and revenue growth for the affiliate company.
Working with a small team of key contributors and specialists to help streamline the design, development and launch process, we can address your unmet needs in the product operations area. Perhaps that is a few extra professionals to fill gaps in the existing team. Or it may involve attacking several project tasks that were falling behind or simply were not being addressed. It may mean providing the helping hand that pulls the team back by the shirttail just before they run into the wall (and learn first-hand just how hard that wall is.)
