About

I believe that a company’s vision is only as strong as the people who build it. Over the past 16 years, I’ve acted as a bridge between high-growth business goals and the world-class talent needed to achieve them. At Google, my focus is the Silicon leadership space, navigating the complexities of the Platforms & Devices product area. My journey has taken me from anchoring technical operations at Groupon to scaling R&D and Software Architecture teams. I pride myself on being a creative problem solver who looks beyond the "hire"—revamping onboarding processes, tackling unconscious bias in global interview training, and cultivating the next generation of leaders through campus relations. Let’s connect to explore the future of the Silicon world.
