JOB TITLE

Distinguished System Engineer

BIOGRAPHY

I have been in technology since the middle ’70s, first as an assembler language programmer on the 8080/8085 chip sets, and then in the field installing industrial robotics. While working in the airline industry for 13 years, I learned the importance of a customer-centric attitude towards engineering challenges and has made the customer needs a focus first goal. After three years at Commvault as a Systems Engineer, I joined Veritas Software in 1999 and spent 19 years there rising to the position of Distinguished System Engineer. After Veritas, I spent time at IBM as a sales specialist in storage software with a focus on backup and recovery. I'm back at Veritas, contributing to our ransomware and customer success efforts as part of the PM team.
