1986-1990 Directed the sole outsource computer group for CMT Systems, a Bechtel/CMT startup. The startup specialized in automated material handling systems for break-bulk marine cargo. I interfaced to the startup owners, facility operating contractors, and assembled and directed the dedicated MTCS staff that grew to over 30 people. I directed the entire staff which provided system integration for the complete startup business including: computer implementation schedules, requirements, specifications, fixed priced software estimates, software development, integration, training and required staffing levels for various projects worldwide. To meet long term startup objectives; I successfully transitioned the staff to C++, object oriented development, and CASE tools.
