I joined EFI as a software engineer when it was a small company and helped grow the company to become the most prominent technology brand in the digital imaging industry. As the SVP of Engineering and GM of the Fiery group, I managed research, technology development, product development, product management, product design, marketing, and EFI's server products, releasing more than 50 hardware/software products per year across 5 different product brands. I also co-GM'ed the Fiery embedded products. Over the 3 years as the GM, we grew the business to its highest revenue and profitability for the division in 7 years. My teams held many company-wide and industry-wide records including fastest time to market, highest revenue from a single product, and fastest image server in the world producing more than 4000 full color, high resolution pages per minute for ultra fast presses. Our products repeatedly won industry awards for innovation, ease of use, color, image quality, productivity and workflow.
