About

With over 2 decades of experience in the tech industry, I have a proven track record of delivering consumer and enterprise products that are delightful, innovative, and positively impact business growth. My career has been an ultimate adventure where I strive for new experiences to challenge myself and grow, and also lift others around me. I have done 0 to 1 with teams and products, I have turned around low performing teams, and I’ve helped advance good teams to greatness. I’m a software engineer at heart, but I’ve had multiple tech exec roles including General Manager, Director of Engineering at big tech companies. I’ve mostly worked in the US, but I also have international experience: building Android for growth markets globally, starting Google’s first Product Development Center on the African continent, and setting up teams in Vancouver BC and Mexico City. I’ve managed $XXX million P&L and led a spectrum of org sizes from small senior talent-dense orgs to very large orgs. My orgs have built multiple products with over 1 billion users each.
