About Me

Technology strategist, builder, and advocate for developer productivity

My Journey

As Director of GTM in Technology at Slalom, I lead go-to-market strategy that connects emerging technology to real business value. My background is hands-on: 15+ years building, architecting, and shipping across cloud, AI/ML, and DevOps — from enterprise healthcare systems to AI-powered developer tools at AWS.

That combination of deep technical fluency and strategic leadership is what I bring to every engagement. I've tackled complex challenges spanning healthcare compliance to retail scale to developer productivity, always with the same drive: enable teams to build better while reducing the complexity that slows them down.
