Summary
Seasoned operating executive who thrives on driving growth, building great teams, forging key strategic alliances and delivering value to investors and stakeholders. With over 20 years in leadership roles across numerous B2B leaders in Enterprise SaaS, Data/Analytics/AI and Fintech/Payments, I've consistently transformed innovative ideas into market-leading products and sustainable revenue streams. At Akumina, I'm driving go-to-market strategies that are helping us achieve early profitability milestones. As a key leader of teams that delivered multiple successful exits, I understand what it takes to scale organizations from startup through acquisition. My approach combines strategic vision with tactical execution—whether negotiating multi-million dollar enterprise deals or restructuring sales operations for maximum efficiency. I'm deeply passionate about my role as a lecturer of Disruption & Corporate Innovation at D'Amore-McKim School of Business. This work allows me to inspire the next generation of business leaders while staying at the forefront of emerging trends in digital transformation. The dynamic exchange of ideas between classroom and boardroom continually enriches both aspects of my professional life. I specialize in: • Strategic growth planning and execution • Go-to-market strategy development • Building and scaling high-performance teams • Strategic partnerships and alliance management • Digital workplace transformation • Capital raising and investor relations
