Ray's background in wafer fab operation, semiconductor processes and his ability to solve tough customer issues (Intel, TI, Philips, Eaton and Varian) helped with products penetration, increased market share, developed customer relationship. Ray was reliable and he worked well independently.

Ray was instrumental in the 100% growth of the business unit I managed in our first year working together. He contributed in all areas of marketing, applications and sales including strategic planning, account planning, development of key applications with strategic customers, product management and marketing, and ultimately closing large orders that resulted in the growth of the business.
