Helping organizations modernize faster with cloud, AI, and SaaS innovation.

As a builder at heart, I love creating products, teams, and businesses that transform complex technology into solutions that create real value for customers.

Over my career, I've:

  • Led and scaled multiple $300M+ businesses through product-led and enterprise growth
  • Led the transformation of AWS's go-to-market tools, used by tens of thousands of AWS feild teams. One of the first at-scale genAI deployments in 2023, with demonstrated business impact in productivity and velocity
  • Built and mentored global teams of 900+, spanning engineering, product, UX, ML/data science, and go-to-market
  • Founded and lead two venture backed startups
  • Done M&A, experience acquiring and integrating startups
  • Invented many new technologies (40+ patents)

My passion lies in building lasting teams and products while creating an environment where people can do their best work, grow, and have fun along the way.
