On a recent walk on West Cliff with Robert Shinno, a Sr. Enterprise Account Executive at Aras Corporation, he shared insights on how supplier collaboration is becoming a defining factor in product success. The need to “shift-left" , ie. engaging suppliers earlier in design and manufacturing is no longer optional.

Last week, I had the pleasure of a rejuvenating walk on West Cliff with Dan Freeman, Director of Hardware Engineering at Universal Audio, and Daniel Bacon, Strategic Account Executive at Arena by PTC. We shared stories, insights, and perspectives on community, product development, and the evolving role of AI.

I enjoyed a scenic and insightful get together with Robert Bisaillon and Wayne Miller in Sausalito. It got me thinking about how much high technology hardware product development has evolved over the past few decades.
