About

Business strategy and engineering,
built to scale together

I'm a hands-on technology executive and entrepreneur working across startups and global enterprises. Over 22+ years I've built high-performing engineering organizations, driven digital & AI transformation and delivered complex product strategies from vision to execution. I'm currently co-founding three startups spanning enterprise software, AI & digital transformation, TalentTech and Food & Beverage technologies.

I'm a collaborative leader focused on commercial impact and long-term innovation, combining P&L ownership and organization design with deep roots in software and enterprise architecture, microservices and cloud, edge & IoT platforms.
