Prior to Nova, Alfred spent over twenty years in increasingly senior technical and marketing positions in the high-technology industry, working with both corporate and public sector customers.  His most recent corporate assignment brought Alfred to the Washington, DC area where he relocated in late 2003 to lead Intel Corporation's federal marketing operations. As Chief Marketing Strategist, Alfred directed Intel’s efforts in expanding its brand, boosting its profile as a technology thought leader, and creating preference for solutions based on its architecture among federal agencies, the federal system integrator community, the solution VAR channel, and system vendors.

Alfred worked with enterprise system and software vendors on joint marketing and business development initiatives.  He teamed with DC-based media, marketing, PR, business development and government affairs firms to advance Intel’s agenda via print, web, and radio marketing, custom media, events exhibition, sponsorship and speakership, legislative and executive branch advocacy.  Alfred initiated relationships and/or negotiated leadership roles for Intel personnel at a number of organizations including Council for Excellence in Government, AFEI, AFCEA, NCOIC, ICH, and is a member of the Technology for Government (T4G) initiative at AeA.  Programs that Alfred led and/or initiated for Intel in the federal sector include Telework, Energy-Efficient Datacenter, High Performance Computing, Mobile Data Security, Network Centric Operation, and Modeling, Simulation & Training.  Based on requests by Intel account managers, Alfred counseled several of Intel’s small-to-medium-sized computer manufacturing customers on how best to establish and sustain a beachhead in the federal sector.

Previous to the Washington assignment, Alfred led the High Performance Computing Program Office for the Americas, based at Intel's Portland, OR facilities, coordinating technical and marketing efforts with HPC vendors, corporate, academic, and government end-users across North and South America.  During his tenure as HPCPOM, the number of Intel-based HPC systems went from 3 to 189 in the November 2003 Top500 list.  At Dell, Alfred was a founding member of the Workstation Products Group in Round Rock, TX where as marketing alliance lead, he devised win-win marketing and sales programs with workstation software vendors worldwide.  Dell catapulted to Intel/Windows workstation market share leadership within two years of launch.  At Hewlett-Packard, Alfred led the global effort, based in Boston, MA, to successfully port the leading manufacturing applications Computervision/CADDS5 and Dassault Systèmes/CATIA to HP’s UNIX workstation and server platforms, giving HP an entry in a lucrative manufacturing sector, and customers - from Airbus to Lockheed-Martin, a choice in hardware solutions.  Alfred studied Computer Science and Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
