Most industry careers in antenna engineering start with a researcher position and then develop into a managerial role. Initial research work could start with a master’s/doctoral degree thesis, followed by a design/application engineering job in industry. Success in a research capacity is expected to lead to a managerial role. In this talk, I examine my own career path, which took me from research, to entrepreneurial, and to management positions. My research career began when I was a doctoral student in India and continued with postdoctoral fellowships in Canada and the United States. Then, I ended up leading two start-up companies, one of which was acquired by a larger multinational company, where I am currently leading business development activities in the Americas. While most of my career was not planned, my experience could probably help those starting their work in industry to plan theirs. This talk will be based on the article published in April 2021 issue of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9392848).

Meeting will be recorded.
