I'm responsible for managing and driving the “innovation agenda” for Polycom – a 3-to-5 year focus that leads to significant innovation and sustainable differentiation for Polycom solutions. Additional responsibilities include leading Polycom Labs (an innovation and solution incubation engine); playing a leading role in developing Polycom’s patent and IP portfolio; leading the engineering efforts to drive cross product architecture, solution architecture and technology re-use; and leading Polycom’s efforts in standard bodies and industry consortia. Prior to Polycom, I held roles at Avaya, ProtonMedia, Cisco and Nortel.
