What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles where I can build scalable pre- and post-sales programs, lead cross-functional teams, and drive customer-first product and revenue outcomes.

I am a strategic leader in Solutions Engineering with deep experience across startups and mature companies, including Posit PBC and Booz Allen Hamilton. I combine technical expertise in data science, AI, DevOps, and open-source developer platforms with strong business acumen to accelerate company growth.

I have built and led organizations of 35+ people, designed scalable programs, and created cross-functional alignment that surpassed pre-sales growth targets and scaled services revenue into the millions. Notable achievements include growing services revenue 60% YoY to $5.5M, doubling paid support revenue to $4M in one year, and enabling 102% first-year pre-sales attainment.

I hire and coach high-performing teams, introduce frameworks that reduce escalations and improve retention, and translate customer needs into product and GTM changes. I seek roles where I can apply my experience building repeatable playbooks, unifying fragmented services, and driving customer-first outcomes.
