About

I help Tier-1 technology and enterprise companies WIN, scale, and deliver high-impact programs. With 25+ years of global leadership, I’ve helped organizations win and expand multimillion-dollar projects for companies like AT&T and Meta across North America, Europe, and APAC. I specialize in turning complex opportunities into wins—owning $60M+ P&L, building scalable global delivery teams, and consistently delivering >99.9% SLA performance while improving margins and customer outcomes. I’m known for winning through automation and execution excellence. I led the creation of FAST and iConnect, AI-powered accelerators that cut costs by 42% and increased service speed by 65%, and built an open-source automation platform adopted across the industry. I partner closely with the C-suite to drive revenue and expansion, from scaling Meta’s engagement from $0 to $5M+ to launching AT&T’s first non-OEM integration model. If you’re looking for a leader who consistently wins projects, scales delivery, and drives real transformation—not slides—let’s connect.

Current Experience

Atriano

Executive Advisor

Sep 2024 – Present · 1 yr 9 mos · California, United States

I hunt, win, and scale enterprise GenAI engagements, leading Atriano’s revenue growth by converting complex client challenges into contracted, revenue-generating programs. I own the full sales lifecycle—from opportunity identification and solution shaping to contract creation, pricing, and initial revenue realization.
Atriano was founded to close a critical market gap: the disconnect between AI innovation and real-world execution. I directly address this gap by winning transformation deals, structuring commercially viable contracts, and launching production-ready GenAI solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes—not pilots.
I build and embed outcome-driven delivery teams across wireline, wireless, and cloud-native environments, enabling clients to overcome delivery constraints while expanding account value, renewals, and multi-year revenue streams for Atriano. Our GenAI frameworks are engineered for scale, compliance, and ROI—accelerating decision-making, improving SLA performance, and driving operational efficiency.
Whether expanding existing accounts, securing net-new logos, or leading strategic AI initiatives, I consistently convert opportunity into signed contracts, initial revenue, and long-term growth, strengthening Atriano’s position as a trusted enterprise AI and delivery partner.
