New Job, New Day.

It's been a while since I've really posted anything here. There have been many reasons and one of them has been that I've been in the process of changing jobs. Anyone who has gone through this knows it can.. be a bit time consuming even when it's within the same company. That being said, I'm still working for Whirlpool Corporation but am no longer an Innovation Manager, a role that I enjoyed very much and was proud to have had for as long as I did. My new role will be in our global engineering and technology group helping develop and launch new appliances around the concept of what is being referred to as the "SmartGrid". These new appliances will be able to communicate and respond to both the needs of the household (doing appliance stuff.. cleaning, cooking, etc., saving money) as well as the power grid (saving energy, money...). More on this stuff in a later post.

I'm very excited about this new opportunity and feel good about getting a little closer to the technology while staying near to our consumers. I hope to blog more about my work as it will be more public in many ways than most of the things I've been working on over the past 8 years.

Finally.. something I can talk about. :)
