About

I lead highly complex, cross-functional programs with high levels of ambiguity and broad organizational impact, driving initiatives from early stages through launch, while influencing technical direction and roadmap priorities. I lead by making strategic trade-offs, contingency planning for large scale programs, and building relationships. With over 20 years of experience—including a decade of leadership at Amazon—I have a proven track record of navigating massive technical debt, launching products in highly regulated markets, and re-engineering architectures for efficiency and scale.
