Technology executive · Cloud & AI strategist

Architecting intelligent ecosystems that turn bold visions into production-scale realities.

I partner with boards, CEOs, and product leaders to translate bold growth plays into resilient technology roadmaps. From shipping billion-dollar eCommerce re-platforms to founding and leading data and BI organizations with near real-time AI-driven customer insights that boost revenue, trim cost, and lift employee satisfaction, I orchestrate large-scale change with measurable efficiency, agility, and trust.
