I am a project manager by trade, a marketing guru by profession, and a lifelong learner from birth. My best trait is an inquisitive mind, which drives my desire to understand not just the "what" but also the "how" and more importantly, the "why" and "why not?" Experienced in supply, pricing, demand, and consumption analysis, and management of the $4bn revenue Chipset supply/demand group. Career interests in marketing/demand forecasting. Skilled at project management (PMP certified), to provide multiple facets of program management. 15+ years of experience with Intel and Cisco with a MBA in marketing from top 20 school (UNC Chapel Hill) and an undergraduate English Literature degree from Georgetown University. Fully bilingual (English, Spanish) with working knowledge of French. Seasoned public speaker, instructor of Project Management and Presentation Skills courses. My career accomplishments include: ✔ Taming a wild bronco, a true hydra project by driving the retail plan for the Windows 10 working group, covering benchmark messaging, retail assortment tracking, end user marketing and PC manufacturer campaigns. Exquisite collaboration with Microsoft was necessary along every step of the way. ✔Balancing often-conflicting needs with product launches (New Product Introductions) and product end-of-life activities. I have never landed an airplane, but a lot is likely similar, given the $10bn of lifetime revenue earned by the Intel® 4 Series Chipset. ✔ Successfully training 200+ operations employees on the Intel® 4th Generation Core™ platform. THEY SAID IT COULD NOT BE DONE! But by focusing on the viewpoint of operations and the customer personnel with whom the team engaged, I broke through the impasse and led to a successful volunteer training role, being named the 2015 Intel Americas' Instructor of the Year. I am eager to embark on my next adventure and can be reached at: ✉ tonysoliverdiaz (AT) gmail.com ✆ 916.467.6158
