Seeking a senior leadership role (CTO / VP / Director of Engineering) with clear ownership of business-critical systems. Interested in platform scale, reliability, ML/data systems, or turnaround mandates where engineering directly impacts revenue, cost, and risk. Prefer outcome-driven environments with real authority, strong technical depth, and executive visibility.

Strategic technology executive with 24+ years driving business transformation through technology vision.
What I'm looking for
Senior technology leader with 24+ years of experience across Big Tech and high-growth companies, including Amazon and venture-backed startups. I’ve led 150+ engineers, built and scaled platforms handling 4B+ requests per day, 75PB+ data footprints, and operated systems at 99.7–99.9% availability under strict latency SLAs.
As a CTO / Director-level leader, I specialize in turning technology into measurable business outcomes. My work has driven $100M+ in cost savings, 20%+ revenue/GTV growth through ML-driven optimization, and large-scale reliability and performance improvements across multi-region systems. I’ve scaled engineering orgs from 40 → 250+, built senior leadership layers, hired and promoted leaders, and sustained <18% attrition in high-pressure environments.
Technically, my background spans distributed systems, cloud platforms, ML/AI, and high-throughput data pipelines. In recent years, I’ve focused on real-time ingestion and low-latency decision systems, including ML-based optimization and quantitative, market-driven platforms where milliseconds and correctness directly impact outcomes.
I operate with a strong bias for ownership, clarity, and execution—comfortable at both the strategy layer (org design, roadmaps, capital efficiency) and the technical layer (architecture, bottlenecks, failure modes, trade-offs). I’m currently exploring CTO / VP / Director of Engineering roles where I can own large technical mandates, build elite teams, and deliver material, board-level impact.
