About

I help enterprises adopt frontier AI responsibly — at scale, with measurable business impact, and with the technical credibility to back it up. Over 11+ years at Tavant, I've closed and grown 34+ enterprise accounts, including a $54M multi-year engagement with a $5B global enterprise spanning Tech Modernization, OpenSearch Migration, Agentic Platform development, Digitalization, and Managed Services. I operate at the intersection of consultative sales, enterprise AI strategy, and hands-on technical fluency. What sets me apart: I don't just sell AI — I build with it. I created ZenCode, an AI-powered platform built on Anthropic's Claude that transforms plain-English requirements into production-ready code. I built it because I experienced firsthand how technical credibility accelerates enterprise sales cycles and builds trust with engineering and product stakeholders. I use Claude daily — for deal strategy, customer research, and solution design. I bring fluency across LLMs, RAG architectures, multi-agent orchestration, and trust & safety — enabling me to have credible conversations at every level, from ICs to the C-suite. My focus areas: Enterprise GenAI adoption strategy and GTM execution Complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles ($5M–$35M+) AI-first solution design in fintech, lending, and digital transformation Safety, explainability, and responsible AI deployment at scale I'm drawn to companies where AI safety and commercial ambition aren't in tension — they're the same thing. That's a rare combination, and it's exactly what I look for in my next chapter. Berkeley Executive Program (COBE) | AWS Partner Accreditation | CSP | CSPO
