About

I lead technical program management in environments where scale, complexity, and execution matter. My work sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and business, bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to enterprise programs. At Salesforce and Akamai, I built and led global TPM organizations, aligned hundreds of engineers and executive stakeholders, and delivered platform capabilities that directly supported significant revenue growth. I focus on portfolio governance and execution frameworks that allow teams to move faster while staying aligned to business priorities. I'm most effective in roles where programs are complex, stakes are high, and leadership needs a clear path from strategy to execution. Beyond program delivery, I invest deeply in scaling organizations and developing the people I lead - building teams that operate with trust, accountability, and a high bar for execution.
