About
Most recently, I was Vice President of Enterprise AI Native Products and New Ventures at Standard Industries, one of America’s largest privately held companies.
I’ve spent more than 25 years turning major technology shifts into products people can actually use: optical networking, cloud, mobile, IoT, conversational AI, and now agentic enterprise systems. The technology changes. My obsession doesn’t: make powerful systems feel effortless, build teams that move quickly, and create measurable value inside complex organizations.
