About

Senior tech leader who has spent over a decade building teams that can operate with a telescope in one eye and a microscope in the other, without getting a headache. My focus sits at the intersection of product, strategy, and go-to-market, with a recent focus on scaling Google's applied-AI solutions. From developing new organizational models to developing patented revenue-driving algorithms I am passionate about turning ideas into scaled impact.
