• Technical-to-commercials translation. Partner with process, packaging, test, and operations teams to understand manufacturing flows, cost, yield, capacity, and technical tradeoffs. Translate complex engineering inputs into clear business economics, strategic options, and recommendations.
• Market research and ecosystem development. Identify and develop relationships with suppliers, strategic partners, and potential collaborators across the photonics and advanced packaging ecosystem
• Leadership and executive presence. Develop and present decision-oriented materials that help drive cross-functional and executive alignment on key strategic priorities.
