Experience.

AI leadership.

I apply AI to decisions that shape revenue, operating costs and capital allocation. My work spans predictive models, generative AI and agentic workflows across industrial operations, digital marketplaces and regulated industries.

Across the eight programs below, I delivered an average of $11.43 in program value for every $1 of AI or AI-adjacent spend.

The work spans demand forecasting, document classification, semantic matching, optimization, streaming systems and agent evaluation.

Alliances leadership.

I build partner businesses through joint GTM, product integration and field execution, with responsibility for revenue growth and partner productivity.

01Channel revenueNearly 8× partner-channel revenue growth.

Grew channel revenue from $17M to approximately $132M in less than one year for a business whose channel revenue growth had stalled. In a separate business, expanded an OEM partnership P&L from $85M to $133M+.

02Qualified pipeline · MSP partnerships$1.3B+ in qualified pipeline.

Generated $1.3B+ in qualified pipeline in addition to partner new quota revenue. Built pipeline across multiple businesses through executive joint planning, account mapping and coordinated GTM programs across cloud providers, systems integrators, software partners and managed service providers (MSPs).

03Global ecosystems · SI alliancesBuilt partner businesses from zero and expanded globally.

Created a technology-partnership business generating $60M, starting from pre-revenue, and expanded another ecosystem from 10 to 100+ partners across four global regions.

Recruited global systems integrators (SIs) including Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Accenture and PwC. Launched six C-suite joint business plans across the partner ecosystem.

04Product integrations295+ integrations connecting partnerships to products.

Delivered API, platform and certified partner integrations, alongside 15 API/SDK capabilities and 12 production applications.

05Partner enablement1,600+ partner sellers and practitioners enabled across programs.

For a previously non-digitized channel program at one business that was also in a highly complex and federally regulated industry, accelerated partner productivity by reducing onboarding-to-listing from 12 to 4 weeks, contract-to-first-sale from 120 to 60 days, and implementation from 32 to 6 weeks.
