I have worked for one of the largest companies in the world, with more than 60.000 employees, more than $18Billion in revenue, and operations in all but a few countries in the world. I know how to work in, with, and sometimes around such an organization.

I know how to:

• Work in corporate budget systems: I worked with budget across the world, through several cost reduction initiatives and one restructuring
• Work with the corporate political system: I was able to start major initiatives as a far-off R&D shop
• Build and foster deep connections between departmental silos: I introduced marketing to R&D, product development to engineering, product technology to information technology
• Hook into corporate strategies: I aligned my R&D department with the corporate strategies to get maximum exposure in the project portfolio decisions
