I'm a senior product and engineering leader with a career spanning cloud security, industrial IoT, AI, and financial technology. I've spent time at Zscaler (through its IPO), Siemens, Cisco, Citrix, and WeWork — working across pre-sales, post-sales, product management, and customer engineering in roles ranging from individual contributor to director.
My current role is Head of Pre- & Post-Sales Engineering, Americas at Convera, where I lead distributed technical teams across the region. Alongside that, I run a fractional CPO practice helping B2B SaaS founders at Seed through Series B get 90-day product roadmap clarity.
The fractional practice draws on what I've learned about how enterprise buyers evaluate products, how technical teams operate under pressure, and what founders typically get wrong when they try to build product strategy without senior product leadership in the room.
I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from San José State University, a Master's in Digital Marketing Management from Cornell University, and have completed executive education in Organisational Leadership at Harvard Business School.
