Hello! I am a seasoned technology executive with over 25+ years of leadership experience in a range of companies from pre-seed startups to Fortune 500 companies including The Walt Disney Studios, IBM and Charles Schwab. I've had the pleasure of delivering disruptive and innovative products across several industries with recent focus on the financial services and healthcare sectors.

The Beginning

I've been building software since I was 13 years old, when I was given my first computer. By the time I was 15, I was a self-taught programmer and successfully published a video game in an international computer magazine. I knew at that moment that I wanted to be in software for the rest of my life.

My lifelong passion has been to build technology and teams that deliver amazing products into the world. 

Decades of experience

I attended university double majoring in both Computer Science and Applied Mathematics and Statistics. I loved every minute of my educational experience. After interning in the IT department of a major banking firm throughout college, my first role out of school was as a software developer for Reuters. There I honed my software engineering skills for the Reuter Terminal, a real-time news and quote delivery product on the desks of tens of thousands of traders around the world. The quality needed to be exceptionally high as hundreds of millions of dollars were being traded based on the information delivered on this platform. It was a trial by fire for me and invaluable in how to have some of the highest software engineering standards in the world.

The Turning Point: A Shift to Engineering Leadership

It was later during my tenure at IBM that my manager (and first and greatest mentor) saw something in me that I did not see in myself - that I could reach beyond architecting systems and building code. I was naturally collaborative and a fairly astute communicator despite my introverted preferences.

That manager somehow recognized an innate talent in me for leadership. He gave me an opportunity to try that skill out and I discovered my joy at leading teams to delivering exceptional, high impact products to the marketplace.
