For the past year I have been the Area VP, Product Engineering and have been leading the effort within GlobalLogic to establish common processes, platform, tools, and components that can be used to further accelerate product development and test based on the Agile development methodology and using the GlobalLogic Velocity™ as the vehicle of choice.
Prior to GlobalLogic , I was part of the founding engineering team at Netezza, where I spent seven years. I created and lead the Quality Assurance organization for HW and SW development, Release engineering, and the off shore development operations. We grew it from a little upstart company into a public company during some of the most tumultuous of times we had seen in the technology sector in a while.
Back in 1998-2000 I had held a variety of positions at CMGI working on many startup companies helping to map out products, build kick-ass engineering teams, and build some amazing products.
What really got me started on the startup kick was started back in 1993 when I became part of the founding engineering team with a bunch of great friends from Interleaf and the company Booklink was created. We were creating a new “browser” for that new and interesting space called the WorldWideWeb. We were short lived as Booklink as about 9 months later we sold ourselves to AOL and become the AOL internet platform development group. Spent 5 years helping to create the web and popularize it through some very cool products.
Before Booklink, way back in the late 80’s, I was at Interleaf working on online publishing systems and using hyperlinks and online tools well before they were the common place they are today.
Joining GlobalLogic may seem like a small departure from my past 20+ years of working directly in product development organizations in the Massachusetts area but working in the product development space, as I did, allows me to bring all those experiences of working in startup through growth and large companies to a much wider audience and helps to keep me growing while helping others grow as well.
Agile, Innovation Games, and Conversation
I recently attended an Innovation games ™ class held by Luke Hohmann of Enthiosys , http://www.enthiosys.com , and during and more so after the class, was struck by the power of “conversation”. The class itself was focusing on how to harness the various Innovation Games ™ as Luke has described in his book, http://www.innovationgames.com/about/The+Book , [...]
