I’m a leader with a proven track record of fostering a collaborative and inclusive team culture.I’m passionate about turning data into decisions and driving innovation.I’m most energized when I’m thinking through a new idea (especially if there is a whiteboard involved), working with customers, and talking with a teammate about life.Early in my career, I developed a set of rules to guide my decisions, and inform how I coach teams. Over the years, I’ve refined these rules:1- Calm down.2- Don’t wait!3- Think more than one move ahead4- Spend money to move faster5- Trust and verify6. Never forget that you are dealing with real people, real feelings, and real livesMy expertise spans operations, software development, sales, marketing and business intelligence.I’ve served clients from early stage startups to Fortune 500.I led marketing technology development at Red Hat for 10 years, while the company scaled revenue from $900 million to more than $3 billion.While at Red Hat, I was responsible for a diverse team of business analysts, systems analysts, data engineers, and web application developers.Together, we ensured the reliability, scalability, and availability of the global MarTech stack (e.g. Eloqua, Adobe, Salesforce, etc.), as well as the safe-use, cleanliness, and accessibility of the marketing data warehouse (e.g. AWS RedShift, S3, Qlik, Tableau, etc.)I also served as a trusted advisor for teams across Red Hat on digital capabilities, web infrastructure, CRM & sales technology, and business intelligence.For more detailshttps://chiefmartec.com/2020/02/check-red-hats-customer-journey-marketing-stack/During my time within Red Hat Marketing Operations, the annual budget grew by more than 10x to more than $10M, and we grew by 1400%, from 5 to more than 75 team members.Red Hat’s rapid growth included several acquisitions for which I led the integration, migration and decommissioning of instances of Marketo, HubSpot.After Red Hat was acquired by IBM for $34 billion in 2019, I led the Red Hat-side of the integration team that was focused on lead sharing and data governance.As a CTO, I direct traffic at the intersection of product development, customer success, sales and marketing.Everyday we practice the agile development process, and walk the tight-rope between feature development & customer support and infrastructure improvements & DevOps.
