United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At VertexGrowth.ai, I defined product features, pricing, and integrations for an AI visibility and marketing automation hub, and secured its first paying client in less than a month. I created the platform based on the TRINITY framework outlined in my books and am adding agentic AI functionality.
At zHealth AI, I drove SaaS product launches and built repeatable launch and messaging frameworks that improved customer engagement by 25%. Before that, at A10 Networks, I led product marketing for enterprise products including Thunder ADC, helping increase revenue by 10% year over year.
At nOps.io, I helped increase pipeline by over 200% through product marketing and campaign execution for its AI-powered cloud optimization platform. My work has also included launching cloud offerings at Fortinet, where adoption increased by 40%, and leading product marketing across developer, cloud, networking, and security products.
I began my career in software engineering, including work at Cisco Systems, Inc. and on a Unified Services Exchange call-processing component for empowerTel Networks. I bring that engineering background to technical storytelling, product positioning, and launches, alongside an MBA from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.
