About

I operate at the intersection of systems thinking, human leadership, and enterprise AI transformation. Product engineering leader with 20 years of experience building and modernizing enterprise platforms for NVIDIA, Google, Salesforce, and Deloitte—owning roadmaps, engineering execution, and over $100M in software and cloud spend. I lead global organizations to deliver AI-powered employee and customer experiences that improve productivity. I design and lead AI-powered employee and developer experience platforms—internal products that quietly shape how tens of thousands of people get work done. Where we choose to buy, I build SaaS operating models and paved paths that standardize intake, approval, onboarding, enablement, renewals, and decommissioning for global enterprises. At NVIDIA and previously at Google and Salesforce, I’ve owned strategy, architecture, and execution for systems that blend SaaS, custom applications, and emerging AI into one coherent experience. Currently, my edge is the systems-layer: I like building front doors to knowledge, meta-orchestrators, and retrieval architectures that fuel agentic platforms, turning AI from demos into durable, enterprise-wide adoption. My leadership philosophy is simple: ask better questions, protect both people and outcomes, and use AI, systems thinking, and human-centered narratives to create environments where great talent does the best work of their careers. I help organizations and individuals break through what’s holding them back by combining systems-level AI thinking with deeply human leadership.
