About

As a former engineer and seasoned CX leader, I’m passionate about building teams where people feel empowered to do their best work, grow their skills, and make a real impact. In my role as the Americas CSM Director at Redis, I get to combine my technical roots with my leadership experience to help talented individuals thrive while working on technology that’s shaping the future of real-time data. Redis isn’t just about building cutting-edge technology (though we’re great at that!). It’s about fostering a culture where bold ideas, collaboration, and diversity drive everything we do. I truly believe that when you invest in people, you unlock incredible potential. As a leader, I prioritize creating an environment where everyone feels supported and valued. I believe in mentorship, leading with empathy, and giving people the space to take ownership of their work. My goal is to help my team grow their careers while contributing to something bigger than ourselves. "Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge." – Simon Sinek
