About

I am a technology and product leader focused on driving innovation at the intersection of cybersecurity, cloud, and DevOps. At Harness, I lead the Runtime Protection portfolio, shaping next-generation application, API and AI security solutions that protect modern software environments at scale. My work builds on a career leading security products at F5, Fastly, Citrix, and Akamai, where I launched and scaled offerings that strengthened customer trust and accelerated revenue growth. I combine deep technical expertise with product strategy, having managed multi million dollar portfolios in distributed cloud WAAP, Zero Trust, and edge security. I have led global teams of product managers and engineers to deliver measurable business impact, including double digit product growth, faster go-to-market velocity, and award winning product launches. My leadership style centers on clarity, collaboration, and data-driven execution. With an MBA from NYU Stern and an MS in Information Systems from Northeastern University, I bring both strategic and technical depth. I am passionate about building secure, scalable platforms that enable developers to move faster without compromising protection. My goal is to continue shaping the future of cybersecurity products that empower organizations to innovate safely and confidently.
