I lead enterprise AI, data, and cloud transformations that turn strategy into measurable business value.

At Snowflake, I lead a $75M Data Cloud and AI transformation portfolio across the US and LATAM, helping enterprises modernize data estates and operationalize AI-ready architectures.

I've shaped multi-year transformation programs with C-suite leaders, prioritizing AI use cases, investment portfolios, governance, and execution roadmaps. My work has influenced $150M+ in AI and data transformation investments and improved time-to-value by 20–25% through reusable frameworks and accelerators.

Previously at Genpact and Capgemini, I built and scaled Cloud, Data, and AI businesses from $65M to $125M, led global organizations of up to 500+ professionals, and delivered 45% margins. I’ve embedded GenAI and agentic AI into sales, marketing, finance, and supply-chain workflows while building ecosystem strategies across AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, and SaaS platforms.

Across Oracle, Software AG/webMethods, Capgemini, Genpact, and Snowflake, I’ve advised CXOs and led modernization programs for Fortune 500 and Global 1000 organizations. I focus on connecting business priorities, operating models, technology strategy, and measurable value realization.
