Leadership across
the whole business.

I’m a C-suite leader with 20+ years of multi-industry experience across startups, Fortune 500 companies and private equity.

My work spans up to $12B+ ARR P&L management, alliances and partnerships, sales, M&A, corporate development, operations, customer success, product R&D and engineering. I bring that experience to growing businesses, improving profitability and leading transformation.

I also lead across AI, data science and analytics, business development, marketing, operations, front-line services, and sales, including generative AI, agents, workflow automation and machine learning.

I am incredibly passionate about AI & hard infrastructure build-outs and the related service industries that support it - including HVAC, Power/Utilities, Electrical, & Robotics. Alongside operating leadership, I take on selected partner-level strategy and management consulting engagements.
