About

Transformational AI & Engineering leader with 23+ years of experience building and scaling global R&D organizations (40–120+ engineers) delivering AI-first products across Semiconductor, IoT, OTT/STB, and SaaS platforms. I build products, platforms, and global teams that accelerate innovation and growth. My work focuses on Semiconductor platforms with AI driven Product Strategy, reducing execution risk, accelerating time-to-market, and converting innovation into sustained competitive advantage. With 23+ years across Semiconductors, IoT, STB, and OTT, I have built and led global engineering organizations to deliver complex AI-powered products at scale driving revenue growth, lowering cost structures, and creating sustainable market differentiation in highly competitive markets. I operate at the intersection of product strategy, engineering, and delivery, owning the lifecycle from architecture and roadmap through launch and scale. What I do differently: - I treat AI as a business multiplier, not a technology experiment. Every AI initiative I lead is connected to a revenue line, a cost reduction target, or a customer engagement metric. - My focus is always on clarity, predictability, and measurable impact. - AI adoption, execution governance, and product decision-making, using modern AI tools, strong engineering fundamentals, and data-driven leadership to deliver consistent results.
