About

Strategic Program Manager driving execution at the intersection of AI, product, and platform. With 15+ years spanning software engineering, program leadership, and business operations, I specialize in building clarity from chaos and delivering outcomes that scale. I’ve led the launch of a company’s first wave of AI features followed by a suite of AI-powered Apps . I define execution strategy, manage risk across the org, and partner directly with the leadership to keep delivery sharp and aligned. I thrive in environments where the work is ambiguous, the stakes are high, and outcomes matter. Let’s build something bold.
