About

After nearly 18 years leading Google Search teams, and earlier building EDA technologies at Synopsys for nearly a decade, I’m taking a planned pause to reflect, recharge, and explore what comes next. This time has been about slowing down, reconnecting with curiosity, and considering how my experience can create meaningful impact in new ways. I’m staying open to selective advisory conversations, founder mentoring, and opportunities where I can help teams scale responsibly - without rushing the journey.
