"Lockheed Martin, the world leader in the design of aerospace and defense technologies, selected Foresight as its corporate standard system engineering architecture analysis tool for discrete event simulation. To earn the banner of 'Lockheed Martin Preferred Tool', Foresight won the rigorous 'Ten Step' procurement process for this tool category as conducted by the Systems Engineering Subcouncil of the Lockheed Martin engineering process improvement program."

"I recently have been able to compare our Foresight model results with actual CNI hardware in the lab. The results from the lab are correlating nicely so far. The lab data correlates much better than I would have hoped, actually. I generally worry about microsecond to microsecond performance comparisons (since the model cannot be as complex as the actual system). Also, it's [very difficult to get] everything configured correctly to do a fair "apples to apples" test. Generally [the test team doesn't] have too much flexibility to set up sophisticated tests. However, we did a fairly high resolution model of our hardware (and software) components, so it tracks rather well when looking at critical latencies."

Dean's career spans more than twenty-five years of engineering, marketing and general management success. He has extensive experience developing, selling and delivering, world-class hardware, software and service products. Prior to joining Foresight, he operated a management consulting firm working with organizations to resolve executive management, execution and market development issues. He has demonstrated success managing global remote development, multi-company projects and distributed virtual organizations.
Highlights of Dean's professional endeavors include: Brokering for Chinese outsourcing firms as founder and CEO of China TechSource, creating and managing the Symbio Group's global marketing programs, focusing and enhancing an outsourcing service model for Lateral Sands, implementing a sharp business direction change as a senior engineering executive at iReady, general management responsibilities for packaged goods software technology at Now Software and a long tenure with Mentor Graphics developing IC Layout tools. Dean is recognized as an expert on globally distributed software development and has been quoted in several national publications.
Dean graduated from the University of Idaho with a BS degree. This happened so long ago that his first real job was writing FORTRAN code for a CDC mainframe. Subsequent to that experience, he developed EDA software, designed integrated circuits, managed a number of different software and integrated circuit design efforts and founded three companies. He is a long time member of IEEE.
Paul has spent the last twenty years of his career developing software tools intended to enable engineers to reach the next level in design productivity and system capability. From the development of IC layout tools at Mentor Graphics, to MCM and PCB manufacturability analysis tools at Savantage, Inc. and systems-level modeling and simulation tools at NuThena Systems, Inc. and Foresight Systems M&S, Paul has steadily moved forward in the design flow on his quest to identify the inflection points where better tools can have the greatest impact on the engineering process. He has also spent a significant amount of time, in the trenches, assisting design teams in the use of these tools to solve real problems on DoD programs such as the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Site Terminals (FAB-T), and Future Combat Systems (FCS.) Along the way, Paul has developed a keen appreciation for the problems facing systems designers in the development of today's most complex high performance systems and has developed some proven strategies for reducing risk and ensuring project success.
In addition to hands-on code development, Paul has also managed high performing software development teams at Mentor Graphics as the IC Station engineering manager and at Foresight Systems, Inc. as VP of Engineering. In these positions, Paul gained a reputation for high integrity as a people manager, as a catalyst for teamwork and good organizational health, and the ability to manage complex software development projects to a successful conclusion.
Paul graduated from Eastern Oregon University in 1986, earning a BS in Physics. He is currently a member of the International Council On Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and holds a Secret security clearance.
