Stuart, has two decades experience in the electronics industry, over ten of those earned working in semiconductors. He has been involved with embedded processors from the outset of his career with stints at National Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Microchip and most recently Atmel. An electronic engineer by training he's spent much of his career in customer facing engineering roles.
Stuart is well respected by his peers for his technical achievements and is recognised for his passion and creativity. In his sales activities he has achieved significant sales growth and gained valuable experience across a broad range of industries. Stuart cites that his expertise lies in the fields at the intersection between embedded processor applications, professional training and business development. He's the primary inspiration for the implementation of The Bench. Stuart is a keen programmer and will turn his hands to pretty much any engineering task. Perhaps, rather surprisingly for such a hands-on engineering guy, he's a rather good communicator in both his native English and German! |
