About Chris Chiccone
I’m a technical leader with a passion for building high-performing teams, driving cross-functional collaboration, and delivering measurable business impact. With over a decade of experience in Test & Measurement, I’ve led through both market highs and downturns - most recently guiding my team to 252% quota attainment and 36% YoY growth during a challenging rebound year in FY24.I specialize in RF applications and bring a diverse background spanning Semiconductors, Life Sciences, and Aerospace & Defense. My expertise covers a broad spectrum of software and hardware skills - from software architecture development to system-level hardware design - with a proven track record in test automation using LabVIEW and TestStand.I thrive at the intersection of technical depth and strategic execution as I’m always looking for ways to scale knowledge, improve visibility, and empower teams. People leadership is a core part of what motivates me. I take pride in fostering a culture of trust, engagement, and shared success - especially during times of change and uncertainty. I believe in leading with transparency, enabling autonomy, and creating space for innovation.Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue growing as a leader, deepening my impact, and leading projects that merge cutting-edge technology with practical applications in a rapidly evolving industry.
