Robert J. Goldberg
Established a corporate
engineering services organization that provided engineering and sales
organizations with technology and vendor specific information, training and career
path management tools and proposal support tools. Revenue from engineering
services increased by $18M by the second year of operation. Architected
and
directed the development of a unique graphical client interface, supporting database,
and content delivery network, which delivered content to students, teachers
and administrators, and interfaced to existing applications. This system led
to A2Z iTV being selected as one of three companies to conduct a pilot at Conducted executive level
technology briefings and provided information systems consulting support to
several major accounts. These efforts directly contributed to closing over
$5M in product sales and services. Built high-performance
Network Integration Services technical support and sales organizations, using
the Drucker management methodology of "Teams". In the first two
years of operation network product sales increased by over 62%. Designed an
"information outlet" (patented) and fiber optic/uninterrupted power
distribution system to support the B2 Bomber Factory of the Future Project.
This integrated fiber/power system allowed any device to connect to the
division's
FDDI, Ethernet, or other LANs, and power, at the same receptacle saving
Northrop over 50% in network installation costs. Engineered a new cable
technology and structured wiring architecture, in cooperation with Bell
Laboratories, based on fiber optic and shielded twisted pair media to support
all voice, video and data communications within Northrop. This project
culminated in the development of AT&T's Category 4 and 5 cable product
lines. Designed and implemented
Northrop's
first "fiber to the desktop" Ethernet and FDDI fault tolerant
(dual-homed) network, using Nortel/SynOptics
concentrators and Cisco routers. This network supported a client-server
architecture that interconnected over 300 HP Workstations to IBM, Tandem and
DEC Computers. This network architecture successfully prevented factory
outages that were estimated to cost Northrop over $10M+ per hour. M.S. Information
Systems Technology
Network
Innovations, Inc., Provide information systems and advanced technology
consulting services in strategic planning, project management, and the
architecture, design, and implementation of fault tolerant computing systems
and networks supporting voice, data, and multimedia, applications. Contract
highlights include: o ChartScape. Acted
as CTO for a start-up company that developed software to manage the
financial, clinical and strategic challenges of the healthcare industry.
Designed and documented all systems including, computing systems, network
architectures, change control procedures, help desk procedures, project
plans, and equipment and software procurement lists in preparation for a
contract proposal to the o Safeway. Acted as
CTO for a start-up company that would provide grocery, retail, eCommerce and
delivery services using broadband and wireless networks and computing system
infrastructures to support multimedia applications. Partnered with IBM,
AT&T, HP and Cisco to evaluate, select and implement an infrastructure
consisting of broadband and 802.11 wireless technologies, supporting server
architectures, and wireless clients. o Emotion (Cinebase). Acted as Chief Network Engineer, to design and
implement an ATM, SONET, Fibre Channel, HIPPI, T3, and T1 network test-bed and test scenarios to
evaluate the use of Digital Media Management Systems (DMMS) and gigabit
network technologies. This test-bed was in support of the National Imagery
and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) $500M Library project to manage its many
terabytes of imagery and data. A2Z iTV, Manhattan Beach,
CA, 2000 to 2003, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) A2Z iTV, a startup
company, developed a leading edge technology solution that organized an
educational library of curriculum and broadband multi-media video content
from textbook publishers, broadcasters and other educational resources. The
company's
Internet-based instructional technology allowed educators to "teach with
technology" thus augmenting their proven teaching methods rather than
compromising them for the sake of technical compatibility. o Structured the
system architecture for product releases, and the long-range direction of
product research and development. o Directed the
content production, software engineering, information technology, and
integration services departments and prepared all equipment and capital
budgets and forecasts. o Directed the
development of a remote management application that automatically updated
remote applications servers' source code, multimedia content, and
database without requiring firewall modification. o Recognized as a
Cisco Certified Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data (AVVID)
Partner, and iQ Ecosystem Program Partner. A2Z iTV's product was certified compatible with Cisco's Enterprise
Content Delivery Networks (e-CDN). Anixter
Corporation, Anixter was a
$2.2B value added reseller of network and structured cabling products and
network integration services. o Created the
company's
fist corporate engineering services sales organization. o Established corporate
and regional RFP and RFQ standards and nationwide engineering services sales
strategy. o Established
engineering, drawing, and documentation standards and a central repository of
essential product, service, technology and technical skill information. Director of
Systems Engineering, West Region o Directed the
Region's
40 Sales Engineers and created technical and professional curriculums
including career paths. o Provided network
consulting, executive sales, design, and information systems planning
services and developed the strategic initiatives of Anixter's Network

Corporation, As Northrop's Senior Network
Technologist, directed R&D projects that involved the evaluation, design
and implementation of "leading edge" network technologies
satisfying voice, video, image and data communications at all divisions. o Developed and
implemented an FDDI backbone to support the F/A-18 E/F Fighter design
program. Northrop adopted this architecture to implement dual-homing fault
tolerance as the standard for upgrading its extensive Ethernet and Token Ring
backbone networks. This network was the cover story for the "Internetworks" section, Network
Technologist o
Designed
and implemented an Ethernet fiber optic LAN supporting FILENET optical disk
networking requirements, saving Northrop $500K. This was the first
implementation of a FILENET fiber optic LAN. Health and
Marketing Services, Developed an
on-line menu-driven MEDICARE Management System that provided extensive input
editing, database query, and ad hoc report generation. Presented technical sales
presentations to prospective customers. At one location the system identified
over $60K of incorrect postings in its first day of operation. Booz, Allen &
Hamilton, Provided analytical
and design support on a project for the Headquarters, U.S. Air Force. This
project included the identification of network and IT standards, design of a
communications infrastructure and installation of a broadband LAN. Polaris Inc., As Program Manager
for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Program, managed 16
software developers, analysts and system operators. Conducted an in-depth
study of DARPA's Corporate Management Information Systems (CMIS).
