About

I am a Strategic Program Leader with 15+ years of experience driving digital transformation, revenue acceleration, and operational excellence across the tech and agency ecosystems. My career lives at the intersection of complex technical operations and Go-to-Market commercialization. I specialize in full-lifecycle leadership, navigating initiatives from 0-to-1 incubation through 1-to-10 growth to 10-to-100 global scale. Currently, I spearhead a global ecosystem enablement strategy for Google Ads, unlocking >$1B in incremental ARR via scaled partner activation programs. Previously, I directed Engineering Operations for Waymo’s autonomous driving technology, managing an ~$8.8M portfolio and scaling a highly complex 'AI+Human' data annotation workforce of 1,000+ personnel. My foundation was built in business and technology consulting, driving Industry 4.0, IoT, and AR innovations for global automotive and manufacturing enterprises. Whether I am conceptualizing AI-powered platforms, resolving cross-functional friction, or negotiating complex vendor ecosystems, my philosophy remains constant: a process that relies on human heroics will always break at scale. True leadership requires decoupling output from human effort through data, AI-powered automation, and rigorous process governance, while fostering the psychological safety teams need to thrive.
