With a solid foundation in civil engineering, marketing, real estate, corporate services, and consulting, Ann’s entire career has prepared her for this role.

She was instrumental in the concept, design, and implementation of Sun’s innovative flexible office over 15 years ago, an early component of what has evolved to the Open Work program.

She thrives on the opportunity to design creative solutions to complex problems and is intrigued by the challenge of figuring out a better way to work.

Recognized expert in her field, Ann testified in 2007 before the Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, Postal Committee, and the District of Columbia as a panelist for the
hearing, ”Telework: Breaking New Ground?”

Prior to Sun, Ann held positions as corporate services manager (Silicon Graphics, HP); business manager, Network Products (HP); marketing program manager (HP); construction projects manager (HP); management consultant (Boston Consulting Group, Munich FRG) and independent engineering consultant.
