editDuring his early career, Fuller worked for Canon, Motorola, Texas Instruments and NEC Technologies Inc.[1] From 1987 to 1991, he worked in the business development group at Apple.[2]
From 1994 to 1996, Fuller was Vice President and general manager for Portable Computer Systems of NEC, moving NEC's notebook computers into the top tier of portable systems and manufacturers. During his time there, he extended the company’s leadership in marketplace development and deployment.[3]
