“I worked closely with Marco for three years bringing the Steam Controller, Steam Link, and Steam VR Lighthouse 2.0 to market. On each project Marco contributed both a strategic vision and an impressive volume of output in the areas of sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics. Almost single-handedly, he established a complex supply chain with a focus on short lead times and tactical second sources, an approach that kept costs down while maintaining a continuity of supply. Furthermore, his deep experience in consumer electronics and product development allowed him to provide impactful guidance on the mechanical and electrical design, regularly steering the engineering teams towards more sensible and manufacturable solutions. In addition to these strong technical credentials, Marco is great for culture: kind, reliable, and an excellent communicator. Any organization is lucky to have him on their team. ”

Through the evolution of the Xbox global manufacturing strategy we established manufacturing sites in Mexico, Eastern Europe and China. Once the primary manufacturing site in Mexico was meeting production volume our team worked to launch the Eastern European manufacturing site into production by transferring and adapting best practices, processes and lessons learned. The Eastern European site, while having less lines and a smaller physical footprint was able to surpass production output of the primary Mexico site, in less time. When required by the program to support increasing global production demands we established 2 additional manufacturing sites in mainland China.

Beagle2 Airbag Gassing System
-
The Beagle2 AGS was developed, tested and qualified for travel to Mars on the ESA 2003 Mars Express. Once the Beagle2 lander was in descent the AGS was fired, vaporizing liquid ammonia, which was used to inflate the airbag used to cushion the lander's impact with the surface.
On January 16, 2015 ESA and NASA press releases declared Beagle2 had been found intact after a successful touchdown, but had failed to completely deploy its solar panels. This confirms the successful operation of…The Beagle2 AGS was developed, tested and qualified for travel to Mars on the ESA 2003 Mars Express.
