I am a highly technical, data-driven product-led growth leader with hands-on expertise as a former software architect across multiple platforms, devices, and cloud, including leading the global marketing launch of Microsoft Azure.

A decisive leader and problem solver, I dig deep to identify the root cause of issues and am unafraid to say what others are afraid to, roll up my sleeves to get my hands dirty, and rally others to do the hard things necessary to take organizations to the next level or turn things around. I take accountability in providing tangible business results, taking on P&L responsibilities, and providing leadership and mentoring to a diverse range of teams varying in experience, office/remote, and across cultures and timezones.

My experience ranges from the largest, most successful enterprises in the world including Microsoft and Red Hat, to helping multiple startups achieve successful exits. I have led teams of 25 people and multi-million dollar budgets where product marketing, design, advertising, social media, campaigns and traffic analysis work together to create flywheels of success.

I’ve led some of the world’s largest product launches such as v1 of Microsoft Azure, and my developer background makes me unique in developer relations in that I can combine technical strategy, audience growth, and business success as part of an entire go-to-market plan.

My breadth of technical experience include Cloud, AI & Machine Learning, DevOps, Data Science, APIs, developer tools, open-source and SaaS services for both B2C and B2B audiences (often at the same time). Expertise at programming languages has included Node.js, Python, Swift, Flutter, Java, and C#, including publications in two national magazines.
