Summary

I am a Presales and technology leader with 25+ years of experience helping organizations scale through a combination of people development, operational excellence, data-driven decision-making, and technology transformation.

I am particularly energized by helping organizations navigate periods of transformation, using data, systems, leadership development, and clear operating models to create confidence, alignment, and sustained business momentum.

Currently, I lead a Mid-Market Presales organization responsible for approximately $26M in annual recurring revenue (ARR), supporting initiatives that improve deal influence, platform storytelling, customer engagement, and business outcomes. My focus is on creating scalable systems that help teams operate with greater clarity, confidence, and impact, while preparing for the evolving role of Presales in an AI-driven market.

My career has spanned software engineering, data and analytics, product strategy, enterprise technology, and Presales leadership. This breadth of experience allows me to connect technology, customer needs, and business outcomes in a way that helps organizations navigate change and accelerate growth.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for:

  • Building scalable operating models and organizational frameworks
  • Developing leaders and high-performing teams
  • Using data and metrics to improve visibility, decision-making, and execution
  • Leading organizations through transformation and change
  • Creating clarity and confidence where ambiguity exists
  • Leveraging AI and emerging technologies to increase productivity, customer engagement, and business impact

I am particularly passionate about helping organizations evolve from reactive execution to strategic influence by developing stronger leaders, empowering teams, and creating systems that scale.

Outside of work, my wife and I enjoy exploring new restaurants, traveling, hiking, biking, kayaking, and spending time outdoors. Whenever possible, you'll also find me on a motorcycle exploring somewhere new.
