Technology & customer leader building API security and platform teams to deliver seamless, measurable customer outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a technology and customer leader with deep experience across SaaS, cybersecurity, and infrastructure. I’ve built platforms and teams from the ground up—aligning product, engineering, and customer success to unify pre-sales, post-sales, and support into a single customer motion, scaling outcomes while reducing operational friction.
In executive roles as a Field CTO / VP of Customer Engineering and Chief/Enterprise Architect, I’ve led customer engineering end-to-end, modernized IT and enterprise architecture, and guided large-scale transformation efforts (including SAFe). I’ve also driven major cloud, data, and infrastructure initiatives—building hybrid and active/active environments, advancing data strategy, and transforming engineering practices toward DevOps and Agile to enable long-term impact.
