Scott Fisher’s Summary

Product Developer (2003-current)
Noryl Technology, Sabic Innovative Plastics (Formerly General Electric Plastics)

My specialty is front-end idea generation and validation. I love innovation, lateral thinking, and cross-pollination.

I current do Technical Product Development for the Plastics Industry working on longer term high impact programs. Working with customers to develop and validate new markets, developing enabling technology along the way. I have had and continue to have responsibility for joint Development programs with strategic partners aimed at building mutually beneficial technology for organic growth.

Previously I built up and have been project owner/team leader for our "New Ideas" group directing this global team in quickly assessing new ideas and developing them into new technology platforms and product line extensions.

I am interested in other opportunities to expand along these lines either as a leader of an innovation team in another industries or though Business Development roles.
