I build AI-driven global engineering organizations that deliver business outcomes.
What I'm looking for
At Signant Health, I lead a global engineering and delivery organization running clinical trial software programs for pharmaceutical and biotech companies worldwide. My teams embed AI and automation into engineering workflows to improve delivery velocity and help treatments reach patients faster.
I built Signant's global technical delivery engine from the ground up, unifying teams through Agile, DevOps, SAFe practices, and engineering standards across major product lines. I also launched an operating model for biotech that expanded the addressable market while maintaining life-sciences compliance rigor.
Previously at Berkadia, I led large-scale digital modernization, replacing legacy platforms with cloud-native microservices and establishing UX and Design Engineering practices. I led Agile and DevOps transformations that improved delivery predictability, reduced unplanned work, and expanded engineering capability globally.
Across eBay, Accenture, Capgemini, Perficient, PwC, and Voya Financial, I've led enterprise technology delivery, CRM platforms, data integration, call-center systems, and global modernization programs. I build organizations that other executives wish they had inherited.
