My approach to technology leadership is grounded in strong business alignment. I build and scale platforms with an eye toward ROI, time-to-value, and long-term impact – balancing short-term priorities with strategic objectives across finance, sales, and operations.
Financial & Operational Focus
I’ve led the development of A/R systems, cost-tracking platforms, and financial integrations that improved billing accuracy, increased reporting visibility, and directly impacted company cash flow. I regularly evaluate initiatives by cost-benefit, technical debt reduction, and business value – not just technical ambition. Whether reprioritizing roadmaps or evaluating new projects, I use financial discipline to guide engineering effort.
Sales & Market Enablement
I’ve worked closely with sales and go-to-market teams to accelerate customer wins, support proof-of-concept efforts, and shape product capabilities to unlock revenue. My time in pre-sales technical roles taught me the importance of customer-facing storytelling – and I bring that into how we design, scope, and communicate platform value.
Startup & Growth Experience
As co-founder and CTO of AccuConference, I led a bootstrapped startup from initial prototype to scalable infrastructure and multi-million dollar revenue. I’ve applied the same lean, outcome-driven thinking at larger organizations – moving quickly to build prototypes, validate demand, and iterate without wasting resources. I believe in “failing fast,” and in learning early whether a technology investment is viable or should be redirected.
After AccuConference was acquired by Arkadin (an NTT Group company), I translated this startup mindset to a global enterprise – navigating the complexity of scale while maintaining business agility.
Leadership Philosophy
I believe that talent development is more valuable than any short-term output. I don’t just hire the best available person – I wait for the right person. I build teams that are collaborative, self-directed, and deeply aligned to business goals. My role as a leader is to set direction, create clarity, remove barriers, and empower talented engineers to deliver.
Top talent doesn’t need micromanagement. They need support, mentorship, and space to create. My technical background allows me to guide senior engineers and coach junior ones – making me equally effective in the boardroom and in design reviews.
