My strengths are: - Strong orientation towards action - Excellent team and leadership skills - Strong quantitative analysis and communication skills - Comfort wielding influence instead of authority to get things done - An ability to roll up my sleeves and learn whatever skill is needed to get the job done I am a co-inventor of the USB flash drive and championed USB thumb drive from market research to working prototype over a period of 18 months.
