What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global business growth across semiconductor and AI—building strategic partnerships, securing design wins, and expanding APAC channels while aligning product roadmaps and go-to-market execution with executive stakeholders.

I’m a global business development leader with 20+ years of experience driving revenue growth, strategic partnerships, and market expansion across the semiconductor, AI, and imaging ecosystems. I’ve scaled multi-million-dollar portfolios, built cross-border partnerships, and secured design wins with Tier 1 customers across the U.S. and APAC, including relationships across leading technology companies.

My core strength is connecting Edge AI, CMOS, and SoC ecosystems to real customer value—supported by work like a $100M+ acquisition with end-to-end M&A due diligence and risk assessment, and a post-merger integration strategy aligning product roadmap, operations, and go-to-market execution. I also lead executive stakeholder and key account management while expanding APAC channels across Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore, and Australia.
