Do you think that Slashdot is made up solely of programmers and developers? It is not.
There are people here who are scientists, physicists, Engineers, I believe some NucE's as well, and may or may not be highly placed. My present position involves electromagnetic issues - RF from 100 MHz to 6 GHz mainly. but can be anywhere from DC to Daylight as we say.
As I noted, I'm not a VP in name, only that is the closest type position I can associate with what I do.
The advisement I give and counsel I give is on mitigating RF interference, very broadly stated. And since the process looks like black magic to normal people, what I say generally goes. That pattern weaving and mirroring I noted in my previous reply is why I can speak to the CEO's on their level, the Engineers on their level, and interact with all levels on the food chain.
And that is about as much as I can tell you.
