Leadership Qualities

Successfully bring in applicable processes/concepts/materials from other industries to achieve efficiency gains. Ability to personally resolve minor issues in development without requiring significant support.

Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere. Strong sense of accountability and integrity.


Clear Communicator. Proactively communicates blockers. Trusted in previous roles to be voice of company with regulators, suppliers, gate keepers and customers.
