I am a dynamic and results-driven Salesforce leader with over 15 years of experience in architecting, scaling, and stabilizing complex CRM ecosystems, particularly in enterprise, financial services, and M&A environments.

Throughout my career, I have managed major organizational implementations, CPQ turnarounds, and merger migrations involving over 1,000 users and multiple system integrations. I have a proven track record of empowering internal teams with scalable solutions that deliver long-term value, trusted by Fortune 500 companies and FinTech firms alike. My strong background in Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, Copado, and data governance equips me to lead from both the boardroom and the trenches.
