Guidance and Expertise Provided
I have been working in the software industry for over 30 years. I love helping people learn how to design, build and manage software products.
As a Senior Director of PM, it was my responsibility to help my product managers grow in their roles and drive the high level strategy of Cisco's incubation department, Outshift. As part of my work at Outshift, I was a member of the AGNTCY team which is an open source project supporting agentic AI development.
