I love solving complex business problems and building high performing teams. I make sure teams understand the WHY of their work. I push them to think about their impacts and align around aggressive business outcomes. I have a successful track record in driving organic and inorganic growth, leading cross-functional teams to build software from ideation, to launch and scale.
