Dynamic technology leader with expertise in Aerospace & Defense.
I am a dynamic and results-driven technology leader with extensive experience in supporting Aerospace & Defense (A&D) and Federal agencies in digital transformation. My proven track record in pre-sales, technical consulting, and program management across PLM, MES, and low-code platforms, including Teamcenter and Mendix, positions me as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders. I possess a deep understanding of Department of Defense mission priorities, acquisition strategies, and enterprise modernization goals.
Currently, I serve as a Pre-Sales Senior Solution Consultant at Siemens Government Technologies, where I lead pre-sales strategy for A&D customers, aligning Siemens digital enterprise solutions with mission-critical initiatives. My role involves guiding DoD stakeholders through discovery and technical evaluations, developing technical demonstrations, and mentoring junior consultants. I am passionate about driving digital transformation and ensuring scalable, secure solutions for Federal environments.
