What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles driving cloud-native platform modernization, secure scalable operations, and cross-functional transformation in collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a dynamic technology leader with over 20 years of progressive experience driving end-to-end digital transformation, cloud adoption, cybersecurity, and platform strategy across global organizations. I build high-performing autonomous teams, align technology with business goals, and steward large budgets and complex programs.

In senior roles I have led Engineering, SRE/DevOps, Infrastructure, Enterprise Architecture, and global IT operations, delivering measurable outcomes such as 37% reduction in TCO, 20% operating cost savings, 40% revenue increase, SLA improvements to 99.92%, and major platform modernizations including headless commerce and multi-cloud migrations.

I partner with C-suite and boards, lead M&A integrations and enterprise security programs, and emphasize culture, change management, and continuous improvement to drive innovation, reliability, and customer-focused outcomes.
