An interview with Neil Love, Executive Coach, Coaching For Success; Manager of Organizational Effectiveness, Adaptec, Inc. We met Neil when he emailed us to suggest new content for the site, starting a series of conversations about his PM work at the senior level.
Why it's useful
Neil has had a very eclectic career. We were intrigued by his career path through project management, his passion for dealing with the cross-functional challenges projects face, his success at getting himself into influential executive coaching and PM improvement roles, and his opinions on why project management is not always valued at the top!
Neil has an MBA and a B.S. Electrical Engineering, and over 20 years experience as an executive, program manager, department manager, consultant and design engineer at companies including General Electric, Hewlett Packard, and Texas Instruments. He has worked in marketing, engineering, human resources, operations, training, and consulting, on projects including strategy shifts, organization transformations, productivity improvements, cost reductions and operations improvements in product development, forecasting, inventory management, and project management.
