Degree(s):
- BS
I have had a good career combining my Cornell EE degree and Harvard MBA as have been engaged in financial roles in Technology companies since moving to the Silicon Valley Area during the 70s. This remains a hotbed of innovation and I have had a firsthand view and owe much of my success to the training I received at Cornell Engineering. I have had CFO roles at a diverse set of Tech companies, including Semiconductor (VLSI Technology and Cypress), Database (Sybase), Internet (@Home Network), Applications (Siebel Systems), Security (Fortinet), and now Internet again, as CFO of Yahoo!. All have been fun and rewarding roles. Also I have been on the boards of Yahoo! Japan; Infinera, Inc.; NXP Semiconductor; Gigamon; and several private companies and nonprofits. I have taken three companies public.
I continue to see the benefits of a strong engineering background and especially CS, as hiring out here for these roles remains strong. Feel free to get in touch.
