About

I architect sales machines—strategizing, training teams, and shaping go-to-market approaches with precision. When stakes are highest, I'm in the room, face-to-face with customers, driving critical deals forward. Nothing energizes me more than that moment when value clicks for a customer, unlocking their solution pathway or catapulting them to a stronger market position. I have done this for new products (at Thermo Fisher) where I was shoulder to shoulder with our technical sales teams and customers, and I do it today at AWS.
