About

I’ve been in the MSP and cybersecurity space for a little over 10 years now, and my career has naturally evolved alongside the industry itself. I started at Autotask prior to its acquisition by Datto, and spent the next six years there growing from an Account Executive into leadership as a Regional Sales Manager. Being part of Datto’s rise to unicorn status and IPO was a defining chapter in my career, and one that shaped how I approach the business today. After Datto, I wanted to expand beyond backup and continuity into broader cybersecurity, which led me to Barracuda. I initially joined a focused XDR team supporting North America, helping drive both customer and MSP adoption across new and existing business. Over a 12-month span, we grew annual recurring revenue by over 50%, which was a major milestone for the team. Today, I work across the full Barracuda cybersecurity platform - supporting customers and partners in protecting their entire environment across email, network, data, applications, cloud, and XDR. A big part of my role is helping simplify what has become an increasingly complex security stack into a single platform that’s easy to deploy, manage, and scale across all major threat vectors. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to consistently perform at a high level, but what’s kept me engaged is the pace of this space. The threat landscape never stands still, and neither does the technology - especially with the growing role of AI. Being part of organizations that are actively solving these challenges and making security easier for customers to adopt and use effectively is what I enjoy most.
