ABOUT THOMAS VARGHESE
Imagine ordering your new car with the “hands free” driving feature. Now, imagine not being able to use your “hands free” feature when your new car has been delivered. In addition, you are one of 1,800 hundred disappointed customers anxious for a solution.My Director called me into her office, and said, “I want you to fix this problem.” My reaction was, “I’ll do it.”Root cause analysis was the first step. With a tight timeline, lots of data had to be gathered from a variety of sources, including engineering SME’s, Analytics team, and my own team. The work I put in front of the team was credible, and I was so proud of how we pulled our efforts together.After much testing of several solutions, we delivered an Over the Air solution for our 1,800 customers, saving the enterprise over $2.7 million.I have enjoyed many positions thought out my career in product management, program management, Engineering, UX/HMI, PLM development and Air Force.
