I've led healthcare cloud and product strategy, reducing infrastructure costs while scaling secure SaaS platforms.

At CloudWave, I led cloud and product strategy for an $80M+ product portfolio and a $25M annual technology budget, overseeing products from strategy through launch.

I drove an enterprise migration to public cloud that reduced annual hardware CapEx by 58% and generated approximately $1M in annual operating savings. I also negotiated a multi-year AWS agreement that delivered 25% in annual savings.

I led product, development, cloud architecture, and IT teams of 25–50+ people while building private-cloud data centers for mission-critical healthcare workloads. I also led CloudWave's successful MEDITECH SaaS partner RFP response against Dell/EMC and NTT Data.

Earlier, I built and supported enterprise infrastructure across Dell Services and Saints Memorial Medical Center, including data centers, LAN/SAN environments, VPNs, MPLS, disaster recovery, and hospital networks. I bring hands-on technical grounding to executive technology decisions.
