About

With over 20 years of experience at Big Tech Companies: Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Adobe, I am a professional in digital infrastructure domain. Currently I lead the Data Center Finance team at Coreweave (the AI hyperscaler) where I am responsible for financial strategy and planning for all Data Center capacity acquisitions, operations, supply chain and hardware infrastructure. Prior to Coreweave, I led Strategy and Planning team for AWS Global Edge Network, which provides fast, secure, and scalable cloud computing services to millions of customers worldwide. My team was responsible for the geographic expansion roadmap, infrastructure capacity planning and new service/product planning for AWS's network of data centers, edge locations, and regional hubs. I moved from a finance role to an operational planning role in 2019, when I became the Head of New Region Strategy and Planning. In this position, I led a team of region planners who coordinated the complete in-country due diligence, site selection, and supplier evaluation for launching AWS new regions (clusters of at least three data centers). Thanks to our efforts, we helped expand AWS's infrastructure presence in 20+ new geographic locations. Some of the regions my team helped plan or launch are: Israel, UAE, Bahrain, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden Malaysia, Thailand, Hyderabad(India) and Melbourne(Australia). I have a strong background in financial planning, product planning, strategy and analytics. I am passionate about developing high performance teams and driving cross functional alignment to deliver strategies that enable organizations to scale globally and react opportunistically to emerging possibilities.
