What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead enterprise data and AI strategy through governed production delivery, combining technical architecture with portfolio ownership, financial accountability, and high-performing engineering teams.

At McKesson, I lead Enterprise Data Asset Engineering across Finance, Pricing, GIO, and Special Projects, guiding a 100+ person organization, portfolio strategy, budget, and delivery roadmap. I direct a governed enterprise lakehouse that supports multi-billion-row workloads, transaction-level controls, and scalable streaming and batch data products.

I've built finance data products, cloud modernization programs, and production AI agents using Databricks, Spark, Python, SQL, LangGraph, and governed enterprise access patterns. Earlier, I led healthcare, life sciences, and finance data engineering initiatives at CVS Health and Cognizant, including large-scale cloud migrations and warehouse modernization.
