I am a transformative C-suite executive who scales, evolves, and modernizes businesses across industries through leadership over technology, strategy, analytics, sales, marketing, and service. Acting as a bridge between disparate functions, I bring experience gained as a technologist and global business strategist to create the solutions that move industries forward. Driving transformations is what I do best. Throughout my career at businesses ranging in size from startup to global Fortune 500, I honed the ability to successfully oversee multibillion-dollar P&Ls, lead global teams of 500+, drive international expansions, and evangelize digital transformations. Operating at the intersection of commercial, technology, and business strategies, I am an impactful partner to entrepreneurs looking to take their company to the next level. I connect with business leaders to understand their goals and challenges, identify opportunities in the market, and define an actionable and effective roadmap for success. A three-time CIO in Telecom, Grocery, and B2B Distribution segments, I see technology as a tool for developing a competitive advantage and outperforming in crowded markets. My continuous focus on aligning solutions with the customer enables companies to optimize tactics across sales, marketing, eCommerce, partnerships, and business operations. ========= Areas of Expertise: ► Digital & Business Transformation ► Enterprise Data & Analytics ► Omnichannel Strategy ► eCommerce ► Global Business Building & Scaling ► P&L Management ► Digital/Performance Marketing ► Global Cross-Functional Leadership ► Management Consulting & Startup Advising
