What I'm looking for

I seek senior product leadership roles driving telco digital transformation and cloud-native orchestration—leading cross-functional teams, defining product strategy, and leveraging AI/ML to deliver scalable, cost-efficient solutions for service providers in an innovation-focused environment.

I am a technology leader with over 25 years of global experience across Product & Solution Management, Program Delivery, Engineering, Pre-sales, Marketing, and Solution Architecture, focused on telco-grade orchestration platforms and cloud-native architectures.

I have managed a $5M+ NFV orchestration solution portfolio delivering 20% YoY top-line growth and spearheaded global product strategy and deployments with leading service providers. I designed and delivered a first-of-its-kind LTE management solution and championed AI/ML integration into orchestration products to accelerate digital transformation.

I bridge business and technology to define product strategy, own P&L, drive SaaS transformation, and deliver scalable solutions that reduce operational costs and improve service resilience. I lead cross-functional teams to launch market-differentiating products and enable service provider use cases from vEPC and vIMS to SD-WAN and edge orchestration.
