Summary
I’m a technology executive with 25+ years scaling startups, leading public company turnarounds, and driving growth across cybersecurity, eDiscovery, analytics, and enterprise IT. I've led in founder-led, PE-backed, and public enterprises—always focused on aligning innovation with outcomes and building systems that scale. I operate where strategy meets execution—leading cross-functional teams across North America, Europe, and Asia to deliver results in high-stakes, complex environments. My focus is operational clarity: what matters, why it matters, and how success is measured. My approach is structured and outcome-driven—instilling process discipline, challenging assumptions, and building alignment. Whether launching new products or restoring GTM velocity, I turn complexity into momentum. I hold dual MBAs (Finance and Marketing) from Columbia and UC Berkeley, a Master of Engineering in Cybersecurity (GWU), a Master of Legal Studies in Cybersecurity Law (Texas A&M), and a B.S. in Physics from Auburn—grounding execution in both analytical rigor and cross-disciplinary insight.
