As a seasoned technology executive with 20+ years of accomplishments at Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft, I've led TPMs' and engineering in scaling global consumer and enterprise service platforms, launching technical product innovations, and forging strategic partnerships that drive growth and bring cutting-edge products to users around the world. My strength lies in developing and distributing services (for example: AI, online gaming, OTT) at global scale - across TV operator STB, mobile, consumer electronics, and automotive ecosystems reaching hundreds of millions of users globally. I’ve led innovations to elevate user engagement and monetization, including applying Edge AI for ad personalization (patent filed) and creating interactive discovery experiences that deepen user connection and value. I thrive in complex, high-growth environments, including opening up challenging markets like China through localized market-entry strategies and cross-border partnerships. At the intersection of product, platform, and partner ecosystem, I’m driven by the challenge and opportunity of making AI accessible, usable, and impactful at scale.
