David Arella

I've worked at Apple for 8 years, where I learned the essence of user-centered design and headed the team that built the first-ever online electronic forms system. I've managed the UI design, product development, and release of over a dozen Internet based, HR and business management solutions over the last 20 years covering a wide variety of technology platforms, including SaaS, Cloud, Lotus Notes, SharePoint, and Salesforce. I've repeatedly converted visions into commercially successful technology solutions. I've founded and led two software technology companies. I have deep domain expertise in reengineering business processes, performance management, compensation, training, recruitment, executive information systems, and organization development. I'm a blogger and a published author on the topic of workplace productivity. My competencies are as follows: * full life-cycle software product management * user-centered software design * small business management * contract negotiations * HRIS * writing and presentation skills
