As an independent partner with select VC/PE firms, I’ve enjoyed building and growing software-as-a-service companies that are enabling digital transformations either as a platform provider or functional B2B SaaS leader. Aa a collaborative, data-driven and entrepreneurial operator, I navigate ambiguity, build trust, negotiate consensus, foster credibility, and simplify things to deliver sustained growth solutions at scale. I enjoy working with and learning from founders, entrepreneurs, board members, industry leaders and subject matter experts while creating repeatable playbooks and best practices. As a customer-led-growth leader, I prioritize creating great customer experiences and implementing people, process, culture, and systems transformation in support.I implement best practice KPIs for growth-focused value creation plans and strategic initiatives that drive sustained EBITDA increase; and for achieving operational efficiencies that deliver margin improvements for outsized EBITDA impact; both in tandem creating exponential enterprise value and building high-quality businesses.As an operator with global enterprises and partner to PE/VC funds, consulting firms and technology leaders, I’ve collaborated across the following domains: data products & monetization, cloud & data modernization, customer data platforms & engagement, revenue operations, cyber security, collaborative work management, Cloud & FinOps, Workflow automation, SecDevOps, Developer Experience, D2C Commerce & CPQ, Product & Marketing Analytics, AR & Computer Vision, IOT/Edge and Mobile Payments.As AI evangelist, I enjoy extending Enterprise Data and LLMOps for GenAI use cases.
