Alexei Marchenkov

My expertise is in transforming cutting edge ideas to technologies, prototypes, and products both as a leader and as an interim executive, consultant, and adviser. With 15+ years of experience managing agile and lean execution of science, technology, and commercial projects, I combine hands-on scientific, engineering, managerial, and business skills with the proven ability to assemble and lead teams to successful solutions on time and on budget. I primarily work on projects which yield physically tangible results: materials, prototypes, devices, research and production facilities. I work with companies and organizations on: - Assembling and organizing teams around technology and product development: finding, coaching, and motivating a great team; distributing labor and avoiding the silo effect; identifying functions for outsourcing or keeping processes internal. - Organizing project execution to deliver on time and on budget: identifying and prioritizing tasks and organizing the workflow; concurrent engineering; design-for-test (DFT) and design-for-manufacturability (DFM); being agile and lean; finding and working with suppliers and contract manufacturers.
