Job Specific Skills
I have 25+ years experience of software programme/project management, marketing
product portfolios and delivering results in the highly competitive consumer electronics
market with Sharp, Philips and Motorola . Delivering value added solutions, features and
products around communications devices and systems.
I have successfully managed teams including Product Management and Development teams
the largest being 800 people in a multi-national and cross cultural environment on 4
continents. I have also managed virtual teams including partners, insource and outsourced
development as lead contractor and on sub-contractor basis.
I have successfully led organisations through the R&D phase into delivery organisation
stage.
I am comfortable on the shopfloor and in the boardroom, people like and trust me and I
enjoy working with teams to achieve results. I have negotiated £multi-million deals with
government agencies, multi-nationals including Motorola, Philips and Venture Capitalists.
I have concurrently managed platform/product development and customer Integration
I have turned technologies and prototypes into successful consumer products and
understand the mind set required to delivery reproducible volume business.
I also understand the challenges of the barriers to device penetration and what is
required to get accepted and paid by mobile device customers.
I have successfully managed concurrent delivery to multiple Tier1 –Tier3 customers on 4
continents of new technologies, managing the customers expectation generating in excess
of $5 billion lifetime revenue.
I have created the environment, tools and organisation to win business and successfully
service the delivery of multiple software clients into over 20% of the global mobile device
market.
I am totally customer focussed and have delivered handset and consumer products
successfully to the global market.
I have been responsible for new platform introduction, innovation and cost down
architecture drives during that period including BOM and feature responsibility.
My management skills are evidenced by the number of staff members who have joined me
in subsequent endeavours and the successful number of product launches I have
facilitated. Equally important to me are the number of people who have gone on to make
significant impacts in the global market having worked with or for me.
I believe my strategic skills and vision are second to none, I have the ability to see
unconnected elements and create opportunities and my judgement has usually been
adopted by senior management teams. The one exception being when Sharp chose not to
take my advice to kill off a competing companies solution and Psion was allowed to
flourish.
I am an articulate and impassioned advocate with strong persuading skills I have several
times been voted best speaker on the conference circuit, because of my ability to
communicate compelling messages to the audience. I have won a number of significant
battles in the global standards forum because of my political understanding and ability to
win both technical and the commercial argument. At Philips I was used by the PR
department to brief Cor Boonstra (Chairman Philips) on the key topics in communications
business prior to major events.
Having trained as a systems analyst I am always looking to break systems and rebuild them
more robustly. I have introduced project management system, quality processes, new MIS
systems, competitive intelligence systems and changes to the product creation and
innovation process.
I have post grad qualifications and experience in both IT and Marketing and am able to
operate seamlessly within embedded engineering and marketing which enables me to have
a bigger influence on the product outcome.
I have personally raised $20 million of VC funding and been part of teams which have
raised $50 million, I have made individual sales upto $150 million.

persuasion and positive spirit and built the credibility of his organization.
Keeping project success as the prime objective, he willingly accepted, drove
and delivered additional responsibilities. Personally, he listens with an open

squeezes the very last drop of excellence out of everyone who sets out on a
project with him. Barry makes hard work fun by promoting a close and
positive team environment. Making team projects a personal ambition for all

is an important and valuable asset and Barry has this is attribute in spades. He

“Barry is a rare breed of manager. Someone that is admirably capable of
leading a company from the front with a clear, concise vision. He is able to
clearly see "'the right way forward" and effectively communicate it to others.
He breeds enthusiasm in the people that work for/with him for any task that
arises. However, Barry is also someone that can take in a complex, detailed
technical problem and significantly contribute to the solution. He facilitates
progress on projects by actively mitigating/removing any upcoming problems
be they technical, resource or logistically related. Barry is someone that is
very easy to get along with and it was a pleasure to have known him at
TTPcom.” September 5, 2008
Bob Parish , Engineer , TTPcom ltd
“I was working in the Terminals Division of TTPCom when Barry joined as
Operations Director, at a time when it was necessary to take difficult decisions
about the future direction of the group. I was particularly impressed that
instead of just telling us what we needed to do, he arranged an offsite
meeting where we worked it out for ourselves. Barry seems very much at home
when he is leading from the front. He can express himself forcefully and
directly when necessary, but he is also very approachable. He is a good
listener.” September 4, 2008

“Barry recruited me as one of his first three employees to join his startup
company for this role after previously working together at Sharp Electronics.
Barry's expertise and industry knowledge allowed him to spot this niche in the
market for which Magic4 since became renowned. His drive and dedication got
Magic4 off the ground from a few ideas around his kitchen table in 1999 to
industry leader in under two years!” October 9, 2008

VP SW Engineering & Product Development
“The first things to come to my mind when thinking of Barry are "inspirational" and
"work through fun". Looking back over the last three years I can see the big change
he has made to our Movidius team. Coming on board to put structure onto a
creative but inherently chaotic team, that quadrupled over night back in 2008, I
think he achieved the right mix of productivity, precision and creativity that a small
start-up team would strive to meet. Moreover, he managed to bring it all about
without us noticing that we were undertaking a dramatic change in our operations,
but looking back again we changed so much.” January 2, 2012

“Both to-the-point and diplomatic, Barry has the charisma and leadership skills
needed to transform the way people see and do things; in my personal
experience, he inspires people more than he directs them. He's somebody from
whom to learn, if only you were willing to; and there's plenty he could teach,
mostly by example. I owe it to him entirely, that I now understand the meaning of
"executing a plan"; and the best thing about him is, he feels like a team member
in teams he's actually leading - somebody with whom you feel naturally inclined
to share both the good and the bad. He is also the one who deserves all credit for
turning our software team (of which I was a part), from loose R&D to creating
actual products that ship. All things considered, it was a privilege to work under
Barry at Movidius.” Mircea Horea IONICĂ
