With 15+ years of experience, I've had the privilege of helping several companies achieve significant growth in national and international markets.At SoundCloud, I drive AI integrations, build and manage relationships with technology providers and labels, and test new solutions to optimize our environment. I handle vendor negotiations, oversee budget discussions, and ensure team alignment while maintaining compliance with regulations and partner agreements. My strategic approach aims to maximize the operational value of AI for the business.At The Venture Center, a globally recognized ESO focused on FinTech, I developed and led entrepreneurial workshops for emerging small businesses and startups. I also served as a product consultant for various successful startups at Little Rock TechPark.At Apptegy, my teams increased the market share of our flagship product by 400%, growing the client base from 800 to 4000. They also launched a second major product, achieving significant market growth (from 2 to 436 clients in just two years).At BBA, my teams established the company’s mobile e-commerce presence in the collegiate bookstore market. We also successfully launched and scaled e-commerce solutions for college bookstores, transforming the product into a national on-campus enterprise solution.My strength is leading teams through complex challenges and focusing on continuous conversation and collaborative exploration. My path is defined by my dedication to creating high-value outcomes that make an impact.
