Proven Field CTO, Technical Marketer, Sales Engineer and Product Manager with a 20+ year history in enterprise cloud, IT operations, full-stack development, security, AI/ML and data center automation. I've driven major successful initiatives including product development, category creation, product launch, community building, product/market fit research, customer/developer evangelism and sales/partner enablement at a variety of leading companies, including start-ups and large enterprises.
I excel in innovation-centric roles that involve analyzing complex IT infrastructure and operations challenges and then mapping a strategic route to success using a broad portfolio of technical solutions. My first-hand experience in enterprise sales, technical marketing, product management, solutions architecture, cloud security, multi-tenant service provider environments, data center automation and full-stack software engineering afford me the knowledge, credibility and empathy to make authentic connections with executives, technical decision makers and front-line practitioners.
