John Kenny is presently the Technology and Efficiency Manager for the Electronic Instruments and Systems Group. After graduating from Lehigh University in 1978, he started in Hewlett Packard, working in our Modular Power System team, designing modular supplies, and later moved to our Lab and Industrial Power group, where he was involved in Analog, Digital and Firmware design for the next 20 years, involved in the rollout of our many programmable power products. In 2005, he moved into a new role as the Technology Manager for the System Products Group, which covered all of the GP products, including Power Products, DMMs, Function Generators, Counters and Data Acquisition products. He was directly involved in the development of the breadth of the GP products that you see in the Keysigt catalog today, with more on their way. Recently, as part of the reorganization in 2015 as part of the new Keysight, he became responsible for Technology and Efficiency management for most of our non-RF based products, as part of the EISG Center of Excellence, which includes products developed in Japan, Penang, Singapore, Loveland and Budd Lake.

I swear these are the best videos you have ever done. A true looking glass into the industry.

Priceless watching these senior electronics guys telling all these interesting details about the development of the tools we all use or were used to develop things we use today!

One of the most amazingly erudite and insightful interviews for electronics engineering in a very long time. I watched all 3 straight through. With folks like Kenny at the helm, it clearer to me the legacy of Bill and Dave live on in Keysight. That he still has his touch at the grass roots level of electronics design is rare and most impressive indeed, all engineering managers should be as skilled. Kudos to eevblog and thank you Kenny and Keysight.

You gotta make more of these! I love these interviews

I feel that I have to give feedback on this interview. Dave you've done interviews in the past that made me pretty sick, but this series the quality is just amazing, well conducted, interesting questions and comments, and you're letting the person speak. Well done!

I really liked these videos Dave nicely done getting him in the lab.

Very good interview. I wish there were more. Thanks Dave.

This guy is seriously on it. And kudos for his compliments to Dave and the benefits EEVblog and social media feedback does to help the business. It's a win/win. When a company is paying attention, even a negative review can result in a positive outcome, that benefits the company and the end user. Dave's no nonsense approach and his unfiltered opinions, in addition to the fact he won't do paid reviews, ultimately helps the business.
The only thing I don't get is how that joker in the comments below thinks this extremely insightful interview with an industry leader and veteran is "garbage". WTF?! ;)

These videos are great. They should be mandatory viewing for all electronics engineer students. There are just so much knowledge and interesting stuff packed in there that you need the rest of the day just to congest it. Amazing.

Really appreciate the sincere insights given here.

Thanks for.this, it's been quite interesting to learn how products are designed for the market.
