I've worked as manager and director at some of the world's top technology companies (i.e. Nortel Networks, LSI Logic, Flextronics International, etc.). Throughout my 20 years’ of solid experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work in diverse places and manage several large programs/projects simultaneously. Even before graduating from San Francisco State University in May 1997, I was offered a management position at, then the world’s second largest telecommunications company, Nortel Networks where I had worked several years. I was so successful at my Nortel job that I was promoted a few times and my starting salary more than doubled in just one year. While working professionally, I completed two Masters’ and one PhD degrees. For the past 10 years or so, I’ve been teaching a wide range of business courses including finance, marketing, operations management, statistics, and business communication. I have written three books, a book chapter, and published many academic articles and papers in various national and international journals.More...
