Paul Moakes
I am a veteran engineer with 30 years’ experience in embedded hardware and software design from implementation to system architecture. I have engaged in the delivery process from customer pre-sales engagement through requirements capture, design specification, implementation, and testing. I am comfortable engaging at levels from schematic and code review to roadmap creation.
I have led and grown teams from 4 to over 30 engineers and boot-strapped a business from 4 founders to a staff of 50 plus engineers with and turnover of over $15m through organic growth, mergers and acquisitions. I am an angel investor and regularly appraise business plans alongside technical innovations.
I have excellent communication skills and have regularly presented at industry shows and authored technical articles as part of the communications and marketing team.
My objective is to utilize my engineering skills, start-up background, and angel investing experience to help companies and entrepreneurs at varying stages in their journeys. The fast-moving pace of technology is both exciting and daunting; I aim to guide innovators who see that technological potential towards commercial success.
