Hello Everybody,
This is Marijke. I have worn many different hats at GigaBeam since I started in early 2005 and currently am Vice President of Corporate Communications. I wanted to briefly introduce myself as I will be regularly contributing to our blog.
By this time, you have seen our new image and beautiful new website—the external face of GigaBeam. Now I’d like to share the inside faces of GigaBeam—that is the people who make up our company. I will be presenting a series on the blog entitled “Have You Met . . . ?”
Every two weeks or so, I will introduce another employee of GigaBeam and tell a little bit about who they are, what they contribute to GigaBeam and perhaps a surprising fact or two. So without further ado, I ask:
Have You Met . . . . Amy Ku?
Amy Ku works in our Sunnyvale office as our Senior Manufacturing Technology Engineer. Amy has more than 20 years experience working with Silicon Valley companies and has at least one patent and others pending. She came to GigaBeam from Harris Corporation where she had worked with Don Peck, our VP of Engineering and Manufacturing. The two had formed a strong working relationship. Amy is part of the life force that makes GigaBeam. She has been with the Company since December 2004. Her main job has been to develop manufacturing processes for our millimeter wave assembly plant. She is known for her innovative and novel module assembly techniques and her precise craftsmanship, which is essential for upper millimeter wave operations because even the tiniest imprecision can effect performance. We all consider Amy to be a miracle worker; nobody can imagine GigaBeam without her.
Some of these things you may know already about Amy. What you might not know is that she is fiercely dedicated to the GigaBeam bottom line. There is no other person in GigaBeam who watches their expenditures more closely. Without sacrificing quality, Amy created a world class module assembly house that meets the highest quality and safety standards, takes up a small carbon footprint and uses primarily cost effective refurbished equipment. It is a space that people find inviting and are rewarded with its effectiveness. And Amy is not afraid to question the expenses of others. On numerous occasions Amy is the one who will say “Are you sure we need that? We already have this.” To put it mildly, Amy is inherently frugal and this has greatly benefited GigaBeam. Amy gives ‘perfection’ with a smile.
To Amy, we say, Thank you!--for your hard work, your dedication to GigaBeam and the bottom line, your overall exemplary work ethic, and especially for your superior workmanship, which allows us to produce the highest quality upper millimeter wave product on the market today.
And thus, on behalf of the whole GigaBeam Team, we are pleased to introduce you all to Amy Ku.
Signed, a grateful colleague,
Marijke
