Consultant * Advisor * Coach
The Vision
My vision for Kite SOC is to harness my 40+ years of experience in the Semiconductor Industry in providing consultancy, advice and coaching. Here’s how I see the different approaches I can bring to bear for you.
Consultant
Acting as a consultant, I would provide time based work, possibly through an SOW where I consult with the client on a specific aspect of their business. Most likely this is going to be a company providing services or products and looking for help in expanding their offering in the Semiconductor space. The work I perform as a consultant can be to help craft a sales and marketing strategy, developing demos or kits to support the value proposition. This has been a core competency of mine throughout my career, honed and polished through endless hours of work getting ready for a customer presentation or a trade show event.
advisor
This is a more holistic, relationship-driven approach where I work alongside the client to deeply understand their business, then provide tailored advice and strategic insights. Unlike consulting, which can often be a time-bound “in-and-out” engagement, the Advisor role is about building a long-term partnership. It draws on the breadth of my career—spanning diverse roles and industries—and the perspective that only decades of experience can provide. As an Advisor, I also bring the power of my extensive network, helping to open doors for lead generation, connect clients with trusted experts, and identify new opportunities or address capability gaps critical to their growth.
coach
Finally, possibly the most satisfying aspect of my career, has been the opportunity to help mentor and coach professionals. From students to mid level managers, it has been a great privilege of mine to help others chart their course in life, and career. I look forward to continuing to offer this service. I encourage you to take a moment and click here to learn about my first mentor, Albert Taberner, and how I pay tribute to him and carry his name forward.
It starts with a conversation
Of course, every service I provide starts with a conversation. From there we can jointly decide on the best approach to move forward. To read what others I have worked with have had to say about me over the years, visit my profile on Linkedin
