Transitioned the Orion Network Connectivity Marketplace into Google's Devices and Services org, leading the integration into Google Fi and Google Android. Developed Google Fi connectivity strategy.

I founded and led Orion, one of the most successful startups in Area 120. It was acquired back into Google in 2022. It now serves 100 million consumers and is integrated into Android. * Product Leadership: I led a rock-star product & engineering team from ideation to product-market-fit. We created a novel real-time marketplace platform, integrated with major telco & Wifi vendors, that makes cellphones work better. * Business Development: Led deals with all major US cellular carriers. Closed partnerships with 70% of the top WiFi manufacturers. Built & led a scalable BD strategy which recruited thousands of commercial venues. * Industry Leadership: I served on the board of the Wireless Broadband Alliance, where I drove development of a new WiFi interconnect protocol.

I built a $1.3 billion global partnerships program for Google DoubleClick's buyside ad-tech stack, with focus on the DV360 DSP product. We designed and grew a new program to support resellers, Global System Integrators (GSIs), Systems Integrators (SIs), and go-to-market partners. Under my leadership we grew it to a global 30 person organization with $1.3 billion of annual revenue and 80% annual growth rates.

I led three DoubleClick DSP sales teams to over $300m in revenue. We increased revenue dramatically, hitting 88%, 105%, and 116% annual revenue growth rates. My teams' coverage included the largest advertisers and agencies in the Consumer Finance, Insurance, Telecom, Consumer Electronics, and Retail industries.

I built the BD, Strategy & Partnerships team for DoubleClick. We inked major deals with the largest ad exchanges, supply-side platforms, data providers, and technology providers in the ad-tech industry. My team also developed & executed go-to-market strategies for advanced data, new ad inventory types, and RTB tech partnerships.
