Clear Ballot is an automated, independent vote-verification system.

This is a quite innovative solution that I worked on with Clear Ballot Group. From the very beginning when they shared their vision of creating an effective election verification system to actual production environments, quality of the system was a top priority.

With this system the voters ‘true intention’ is clear with an easily displayed visualization for human verification. The Clear Ballot election verification system will literally save US tax payers millions of dollars in simple voter-intention disputes, official re-counts and/or litigation. I’m so glad for the success of Clear Ballot Group and proud to call them friends.

I was the proud, and extremely passionate, product marketing manager for the life cycle of the Fujitsu fi-5900C Mid-Volume Production (MVP) Scanner in the United States, Mexico and Latin America. In the Mid-Volume Production Scanning segment Fujitsu had historically been #3 market share or often worst behind Kodak and Bell & Howell.

The truth of the matter is that I was lucky with timing, but it was also a lot of hard work, team effort and excellent execution of a plan and we eventually achieved #1 market share in MVP for the first time ever. I proudly helped establish Fujitsu as a player, in fact, THE #1 player for years and when I left the company in 2011 we were still #1 in spite of Kodak acquiring Bell & Howell.
