I am the Head of the Technical Program Management Office (TPMO) at Kyocera in the SF East Bay where I founded the Organizational Change Management (OCM) Consulting practice (management consulting practice) and founded KyoVentures (Kyocera's SF Bay Area Corporate Startup Accelerator). I am an Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP), Certified. Scrum Master (CSM) & Certified Change Management Specialist (CMS). Prior to Kyocera & TubeMogul, Aaron founded Alumwire, Inc. where he project managed the development of Alumwire's proprietary video chat software during the early days of the Company in Berkeley, CA. He drove the Company’s strategic direction, business development and marketing activities as its CEO. Aaron was named by BusinessWeek as one of “The Top 25 Young Entrepreneurs”. Aaron was also featured on NBC, CBS and CNET. The initial sales of $100K+ from Alumwire’s Fortune 500 beta clients led to a $1.4 million dollar financing round. Aaron successfully exited Alumwire in 2011 (acquired by TalentCircles, Inc. in August, 2011). Aaron earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from The Walter A. Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to attending UC Berkeley, Aaron attended a private, technical high school in Los Angeles where he majored in computer science and developed games in Visual C++, C++, Visual Basic and Javascript. He programmed e-commerce web sites for several companies in the L.A. area during his teenage years.
