About

As a Director of Product Marketing at Microsoft, I lead the AI-powered Developer Experience across GitHub, Visual Studio, and Azure—bringing together deep technical expertise, strategic vision, and crisp execution to grow business at scale. I specialize in crafting compelling technical narratives that resonate with developers and decision-makers alike, translating complex capabilities into clear business value. I collaborate cross-functionally with product management, sales leadership, and finance to define and execute GTM strategies that accelerate adoption and drive growth. I also lead messaging and positioning for Microsoft’s Developer Platform Solution—crafting compelling narratives that empower developers to innovate with confidence. I built and scaled a high-impact developer solution sales play that helped incubate and grow the GitHub Copilot business to over 26 million developers, contributing to a $2B+ developer platform business. This go-to-market strategy spanned market opportunity analysis, sales scenarios, solution-based messaging, offer design, field enablement, and partner activation.
