My personal statement
I have spent most of my career involved in the development and marketing of technical products. I have a history of developing successful projects and have trained myself to look at the world in terms of opportunities and challenges to be overcome. I have reinvented myself and my career a few times and have confirmed that there are no challenges that can't be overcome so long as I maintain the personal committment to do so. I love learning new things and see opportunites everywhere.
