About Brent Kumfer
My passion is innovation and product development. My mission is to harness that passion and expertise to help improve our world. Of particular interest to me is the use of smart / connected products that enable breakthroughs in system performance. I have an affinity for breaking through technical and organizational barriers to drive innovation into the marketplace, waste out of processes, and dollars to the bottom line. My track record proves one of my greatest strengths - the ability to rapidly learn, analyze, and solve complex problems in areas where expertise is either unavailable or does not exist. Career Highlights- Launched new smart thermostat delivering 20% growth & $3MM in incremental margin - Executed & mentored continuous improvement projects delivering over $7MM in annual benefits - Lead design engineer on 2 multi-million dollar development programs - GE Arc Vault won 2011 Product of the Year Award in Electrical Safety from Plant Engineering - Inventor on 17 issued patents - Graduated with a 4.0 GPA in both BSEE & MSMGMT from top technical schools
