About

Now working on something new @Nvidia. Previously, Chief Revenue Officer at Groq, driving the future of AI infrastructure and computing. I'm passionate about technology that transforms industries and build high-performing teams that deliver exceptional results. Previously as CMO of Chainalysis (2021-2024), I built a global team that drove 4x growth in customers and revenue. Before that, I led Marketing for VMware's Tanzu portfolio, managing a team of 120 across product marketing, DevRel, and GTM functions as we integrated multiple acquisitions and launched a new business unit for VMware. As CMO at Pivotal, I helped scale the company from launch in 2013 to IPO in 2018 and $2.7B acquisition by VMware in 2019. Earlier roles included leadership positions at market-defining startups Opsware (acquired by HP) and Aster Data (acquired by Teradata). My experience spans both sales and marketing, giving me a comprehensive view of go-to-market strategy. I specialize in launching innovative products, scaling early-stage companies, and building world-class teams. Current focus: AI infrastructure, LPU technology, and next-generation computing solutions. Past expertise: Blockchain analytics, AML Compliance, Kubernetes, Cloud Native, Big Data & Analytics, Enterprise Software.
