Annaka Kalton “Aurora Product Architect”
Annaka coordinates Aurora scheduling software development and deployment efforts across a wide range of domains. In addition to leading the requirements analysis and implementation efforts for a range of projects, she consults on most scheduling software implementations within the company in order to coordinate implementation strategies where possible and facilitate knowledge and feature sharing. Since joining in 2001, she has worked on heuristic scheduling projects ranging from airplane assembly scheduling for Boeing, medical resident scheduling for Massachusetts General Hospital, and skilled auditor scheduling for a large mortgage auditing firm — among many others. Working with such a range of domains has given her insight into both key similarities across scheduling domains, and those details that make each implementation unique and interesting. More.
Rob Richards PhD “Head of Strategy & Business Development”
Rob Richards’ responsibilities at Stottler Henke include Strategy and Business Development, with the ongoing commercialization of key innovative technologies. For example, Dr. Richards developed our relationship with Boeing, which resulted in Boeing’s purchase and widespread deployment of the Aurora intelligent project management and scheduling tool within its commercial and defense businesses. In addition Dr. Richards developed the relationship with Siemens where they now use Aurora as their scheduling engine in their Xcelerator line. Dr. Richards leads and has led the development of many other Aurora-related applications for customers such as: General Dynamics Electric Boat for optimal scheduling of the construction of nuclear submarines for the United States Navy; Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for a wide variety of complex projects; Pfizer for efficient pharmaceutical product production and packaging; and an international vehicle company for the optimal configuration of test vehicles for crash safety testing.
