About

I am an AI executive focused on building and scaling enterprise platforms that transform how service organizations operate. Today, I serve as General Manager of Tryvium.ai, where we are developing an Agentic Experience Orchestration Platform designed to transform enterprise contact centers and service desk operations into AI-native, customer-focused automation systems with human oversight. We are at an inflection point where AI has the potential to fundamentally reshape customer and employee service. But meaningful transformation requires more than applying AI to existing workflows — it requires rethinking how service systems are designed, operated, and measured. Throughout my career, I have focused on translating emerging AI capabilities — including conversational AI, generative AI, and agentic systems — into scalable enterprise platforms that deliver measurable business outcomes. Previously, as Chief Product Officer at Interactions (now part of SoundHound AI), I led product, technology, sales, and services, helping scale the company from an early-stage startup into a leading provider of conversational AI solutions used by many well-known enterprise brands. Earlier in my career, I founded and grew Versay Solutions, an early conversational AI company, and was an early sales leader at Nuance, where I was part of the team during its IPO. I’m always interested in connecting with leaders exploring the future of AI-driven service operations.
