Professional Services for R&D Leaders

"Broadening the reach of the R&D Leader... Building bridges between the lab bench and the marketplace"

Benefits

I believe in developing  relationships with customers and colleagues that last far beyond a single business engagement. For the R&D leader I bring a significant leverage factor, enabling extended contact with the community, management of multiple projects, creating key messages to constituents, and researching new trends and industry developments.

From finding funding sources inside government agencies to managing technology projects through market trial to helping customers get what they need from the R&D lab, I have experience and contacts that will make your operations more effective.

Building bridges involves clear communication. For the R&D leader or hi-tech CEO, I first understand the corporate vision/strategy, the significant technologies behind a company's products/services, and the advantages and pitfalls of technology to customers. Next I help form the messages that create a clear picture of value in their customers’ minds.

For the non-technical manager, I help teams negotiate successful contracts with hi-tech vendors as well as tech-savvy customers. This results in better product development cycles, stronger customer relationships and increased sales.

I thrive on turning technology challenges into business success.
