I'm a business leader who leads technology, not a technology leader who understands business.
As a 2025 ORBIE Global CIO Award Finalist, I've built my career turning technology into measurable P&L impact: driving top-line growth, expanding margin, and delivering outcomes that show up in earnings calls.
Across Fortune 500 and PE-backed healthcare and services companies, I've consistently delivered seven-figure EBITDA gains by running technology as an enterprise value portfolio, not as a cost center.
My approach centers on portfolio management and outcome delivery. I don't measure success by projects completed or systems deployed. I measure it by revenue enabled, costs avoided, risks mitigated, and competitive advantages created.
I've deployed product operating models that shift organizations from feature factories to outcome engines, where cross-functional teams own business results, not just backlogs. I reimagine workflows and infuse AI into core operations to unlock value, not as a technology experiment but as a strategic capability that drives margin and speed.
What sets me apart: I work directly with external clients to validate the value our product teams aim to deliver. I spend time in the field—on the shop floor, in call centers, and alongside sales teams—to learn, build relationships that drive topline growth, and demonstrate executive presence.
I run global technology teams across multiple continents, operate IT cost-efficiently while driving growth, and speak the language CEOs and boards understand: ROI, EBITDA, market positioning, and risk.
I take on full-time interim CIO/transformation engagements and advise CEOs and PE firms on technology strategy and AI-enabled operating models. I'm pursuing my next permanent CIO/CDIO role with an organization that views technology as competitive advantage.
I've developed and deployed several proprietary frameworks for turning technology into measurable business value:
Running technology as an enterprise value portfolio, not a cost center. Every investment mapped to revenue enabled, costs avoided, risks mitigated, or competitive advantages created.
