I started coding when I was a child and I continue to find technology extremely rewarding and fascinating in equal measure with a focus on influencing and delivering change at scale while remaining hands-on and current with industry practice. I was able to turn my initial passion into a 20+ year career in technology, most recently as a Senior Vice President covering Distributed Platforms and Cloud Enablement.I am a highly capable and accomplished technology industry professional, with extensive experience in overseeing and directing in-house application and platform development spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Specializing in building and running teams that develop high volume and high-performance products using modern practices and tools across many varied functional areas.Track record of delivery ranges from small to large scale strategic modernization initiatives, both in-house and vendor augmented, all to demanding deadlines. Key to this success is staying up to date and leveraging new technology; along with effective leadership of teams, goal setting, attracting and retaining talent, to build a culture that motivates and rewards top performance inclusively and diversely.
