Jeff came to my team 2 years ago as Manager of our Wireless Services team. In that role he built an organizational structure allowing the company to be successful pursuing and implementing projects centered on wireless networking technologies, particularly around delivering high quality video. Jeff has extensive knowledge and expertise in the area of wireless network deployments, utilizing many products, in both licensed and unlicensed spectrum. He has strong capabilities from sales and engineering through installation and service of these systems. While in this role, Jeff spearheaded partnerships with product and distribution vendors and worked with our product management team to build processes to manage engineering and ordering. He also led the way in designing and commoditizing custom-designed field hardware units that provided high-quality components in a design suitable for most deployments, and laid the foundation for remote management and monitoring of these systems. Jeff is a tireless worker, regularly traveling across the US to work both sales opportunities and supporting operations during deployments.
