What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead business transformation through Data & AI strategy, product and offering development, partnerships, and recurring-revenue models, turning complex technology into practical enterprise outcomes.

At Samsung SDS America, I rebuilt a Samsung-captive consulting business into a Data & AI practice serving external enterprise customers. I grew revenue from zero to $6M in 18 months and built new partner-led revenue lines across resale, professional services, and managed services.

I conceived and productized Orbita, an asset-intelligence platform now deployed in five Samsung businesses. It links enterprise asset, IoT, digital-twin, BIM, ERP, and causal-analytics data to reduce work-order waste and predict machine failures.

Before Samsung SDS, I led data engineering and cloud transformation engagements at Slalom Consulting and Quantiphi, securing major contracts and directing multidisciplinary delivery teams. My work modernized healthcare data platforms, improved data quality and processing performance, and expanded strategic client accounts.

Across 17 years in data, cloud, and AI, I’ve moved organizations from opportunity discovery through production delivery and signed contracts. I build practical, governed AI solutions with grounded GenAI, deterministic controls, and human approval for agentic actions.
