At Eaton, I lead two greenfield 2MW enterprise data centers and global infrastructure operations, maintaining 100% uptime across a 15-year operational lifecycle.

I've led data center consolidation through mergers and acquisitions, delivering 25% cost reductions, and direct a 70-member managed services team supporting enterprise LAN, WAN, and security infrastructure across 600+ locations. I'm coordinating a global SD-WAN deployment and Zero Trust modernization while using ML-driven automation to reduce MTTR by 45%.

Earlier, I built Texcel's IT managed services and consulting practice into more than half of annual company revenue and supported JP Morgan Chase's global VoIP modernization across 200,000 endpoints.
