Paul Schnitzler
Paul Schnitzler has extensive senior level experience in
the electronics field including work with both large and small-or-startup
companies. He has been particularly effective in getting technology products
developed and out the door. His approach helps people enjoy their work and
want to be better at it — and so they are.
Currently, he is on the faculty of the University of South Florida (USF)
where he teaches in the MS in Engineering Management program. This focuses on
developing people who will work well with people in addition to being skilled
engineers. He is particularly interested in the management of technological
change motivation, and the development of individual creativity for the
benefit of organizations.
Paul has directed the development of products in wire, wireless, and fiber
telecommunications; video systems including cameras and plasma display
panels; and software in medical, database, and embedded applications. These
were accomplished at Bell Laboratories (16,000
bidirectional channels, analog coaxial system; 274
Mb/S undersea fiber system), RCA Corporation (hybrid
500 MHz transmitter; increased satellite phone capacity; Emmy-winning broadcast camera), the Time Inc.
Magazine Company (bindery-line video monitor
system, enterprise data model), Cadence Design Systems (developed $10,000,000
design sales pipeline, performed market research resulting in $12,000,000
sale), and a variety of smaller companies (prototype for new technology plasma panel, fast cross-tab data analysis application).
Paul is also Senior Director, Systems, for Deep Sea Link, Inc. a special
applications telecommunications company. In this role he led the development
of an undersea system with potential revenue in excess of $100,000,000 annually.
Previously he served as CTO of Mayday, Mayday, Inc. a check fraud prevention
startup.
As the interim CEO for another pre-launch startup, Paul identified a $3
billion untapped market which urgently needed their new nanoparticle
material; and, as VP of Operations at ZMedia, he
facilitated the successful acquisition of this profitable dot-com startup
company for $15 million. In the role of VP of Engineering for Coastcom, he turned around a new product development
program and launched their new line of telecommunications multiplexers while
shortening time to market by six months; this was expected to double their
revenue to $20 million annually.
Paul’s consulting activities resulted in a new $2 million per year OEM
contract for a computer hardware company, effectively doubling the client’s
annual business. He has also developed business plans for companies in the
process of seeking funds.
He has taught courses in engineering, management, marketing, and creativity
for New York University,
Drexel University,
Fairleigh Dickenson
University, Middlesex
County College,
Graduate Management
School at Northwestern Polytechnic
University, RCA, Bell
Laboratories, Cadence Design Systems, and the IEEE; these are in addition to his
current work with USF (above).
He has been invited to teach Venture Business and Entrepreneurship at Fudan University,
Shanghai, China, in the Executive MBA
program of the Center for American Studies. Since 2005 he as taught there on
four occasions.
Paul earned his Ph.D. (E.E.) from the Polytechnic University of New York and
the B.S. and M.S. in E.E. from New
York University.
He received the RCA Laboratories’ Doctoral Study award and the Hugo Gernsbach
Award, was elected to Sigma Xi, and is listed in Marquis Who’s Who in the
World. Paul holds several patents and has published over twenty papers in
circuit design, microwaves, television, and telecommunications.
In 2007, he was honored by Tau Beta Pi who named him an Eminent Engineer.
