Instigated and oversaw a comprehensive external quality review upon re-shoring the code base. Becoming the first and only woman so honored in the 45-year history of StorageTek, was elected in 2004 to the position of StorageTek Fellow, the technical-track equivalent of a Director, in recognition of ground-breaking work in Continuous Data Protection and virtual storage, after holding senior management and technical-track positions. Fellows are elected by a consensus of executives and peers. Managed an R&D team of 20 engineers developing StorageTeks recovery software applications (C++). Drove development process and software quality improvements, leading to 40% reduction in customer issues and 15% reduction in time to market. Led a newly-formed Requirements and Architecture Team, investigating NAS and SAN options for new products at StorageTek. Authored Vision, Functional Specifications, and patent disclosures for product proposals. Drove products through readiness gate process, coordinating functional teams to meet schedule & requirements. Established appropriate standards, metrics, and practices for remote-managing a large-scale offshore project (18 developers in Bangalore, 21 quality assurance professionals in Chennai, and 6 developers in Toulouse, France). Conceived, evangelized, and led the effort to develop Continuous Data Protection technology. StorageTek received 4 International Product of the Year awards for the resulting EchoView E400 appliance during 2003-2004.

Foundational Career Highlights

For Eastman Software, prior to its acquisition by Seagate Software, led the team that contributed the Data Migrator (HSM) storage component to the Windows 2000 storage layer, collaborating with teams from Veritas, Seagate, Microsoft, and Highground. For two startup firms engaged in large-scale special-purpose database indexing, managed the professional service organizations necessary to implement and tune the products; responding to RFP and RFIs and presenting solutions to prospective customers. For Mitchell Humphrey & Co., a boutique vendor of accounting software for state and municipal governments and nonprofits, architected the firms earliest desktop integration products and spearheaded the development groups conversion to OOD. As a consulting Applications Analyst, assisted firms in multiple industries to make the transition from mainframe to client-server architectures.
