PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Process NMR Associates, LLC December 1997-Present

Manager of Business Development for PNA, the worlds only on-line high-resolution FT-NMR application development company. Developed, validated and maintained applications on over 20 installed process NMR units. Oversaw global product marketing and strategic planning for Foxboro process NMR business.

Texaco Fuel and Marine Marketing Department April, 1996 - Dec. 1997

Program Manager - Fouling and Corrosion: Responsible for managing and coordinating internal and external programs designed to reduce catastrophic fouling and corrosion at a 3,500 barrel per day used oil recycling refinery. Direct reports include four Texaco professionals and technical staff of two vendor/supplier companies. Program objectives are to reduce fouling and achieve operational profitability by August, 1996.

Texaco Fuels and Lubricants Technology Department 1994 - 1996

Senior Technologist - Process Analytical and Organic Spectroscopy: Team Leader for developing and implementing unique process analysis/control systems and product quality monitoring systems. Developed, patented, and installed the first high resolution process NMR analyzer and controller at Texaco’s Los Angeles Refinery. Nominated by Texaco for the Industrial Research Institute’s 1996 Technology Award. Manages infra red based fuel and lubricant product quality monitoring programs.

Texaco Research and Development Department 1980 - 1994

Group Leader - Organic Spectroscopy, Compositional and Thermal Analyses (1990 - 1994): Managed eight professional and two technicians in delivery of NMR, mass spec, IR spectroscopies, compositional analyses, and thermal analyses (including DSC and TGA).

Team Leader - Coolant Contamination (1990): Led analytical team of three professionals in determining source of coolant contamination at General Motors’ Saturn Division’s manufacturing facility. Results of team’s work mitigated Texaco’s $28 million liability in a 1,500 car recall by Saturn. Received Texaco’s Outstanding Contributor Award.

Technical Positions (1980 - 1990): Held various technical positions of increasing responsibility in NMR, compositional, and surface analyses.
