  • At Intuit, I am driving AI-led product transformation by building the data and platform foundations required for trusted, scalable AI and agentic experiences across our ecosystem.
  • I am leading the modernization of core data platforms, including the strategic sunset of legacy systems, to enable AI-ready data at scale. This foundation now powers next-generation AI discovery experiences and agentic workflows that leverage institutional knowledge, resulting in multi-fold productivity gains for users and teams.
  • By maintaining a strong focus on User Value, this work drove broad platform adoption (over 70%) and meaningful improvements in customer outcomes, including higher conversion and faster time-to-value. In parallel, Developer Productivity improved significantly, reducing onboarding and delivery cycles by more than 30% and enabling teams to move from insight to impact faster.
  • These gains translated into tangible operational efficiency, saving tens of thousands of person-hours monthly across teams supporting QuickBooks, TurboTax, Credit Karma, Mailchimp, and IES, while improving reliability during critical peak periods.
  • I also spearheaded the evolution of Data Foundations within Data Understanding, transforming lineage from a passive system of record into a core data product that delivers actionable insights. This product strategy aligned multiple partners and user groups and enabled highly reliable, low-incident data access for Marketing, GTM, and Data teams, including peak-scale readiness for TurboTax.
