I'm in the
Oracle Corporation
Marketing Department where I am the
Senior Director of Technical Marketing. We're the folks who
prepare demo systems at public events (product announcements and
tradeshows for example). We also set-up demonstrations that
tour the country with our seminar programs.
When I joined Oracle in 1982 we had 25 employees. Over the years I have introduced electronic publishing into our company, designed its first documentation standards, worked on research projects in document management and decision support, and designed Oracle's first GUI product, Easy*SQL®. I am a past contributor to Oracle Magazine where I have written about interesting tricks and techniques with SQL.
In 1994 we put Oracle onto the information highway when we created
Oracle's web site.
Our department published all the marketing and
informational materials on our web site and designed the home page
which was recognized by INFOWORLD
in "THE WEB HOTLIST."
After obtaining a M.S. in Industrial Engineering at
Stanford University,
I began my career in the Operations Research department of
American Airlines
when their general offices were in New York City. My projects
included redesign of Ohare Airport and the optimal strategy for
scheduling aircraft for maintenance.
I created a time-series database which was named AAIMS that was used
for econometric analysis in marketing and corporate planning. The
project was very well received. It was covered in several publications
including Harvard Business Review, industry magazines and newsletters.
We were featured as a case study in an IBM product brochure.
Returning to The Bay Area, I was the Northern California regional
salesmanager for a computer services company. After a couple years
working with clients in Big Six firms and major banks, I joined
Dataquest,
the market research company where eventually I became Vice President
of Information Systems.
