About

25+ years of digital and software experience in sales leadership, engineering, product marketing, and program management. I have a passion for practical business ideas that intersect with technology, and hold 6 cloud developer and architect certifications from AWS, Azure, and GCP. I also have a keen interest in data analytics, machine learning, edge artificial intelligence, and invest in startups within these domains. My goal is to inspire and share learnings as I continue to grow and help others succeed. Thx for following me.If you really want to know the details:Follow me to explore leadership & management topics, growth opportunities, change management, go-to-market tips, and cool stuff. This includes ideas and solutions that ultimately make our lives easier and better. Why?I'm passionate about building, coaching, & leading high performance GTM teams through change. Today I oversee a friggin' awesome team of sales, customer success, business development, marketing, and business operations leaders.I didn't take a traditional route into software sales or becoming an executive. I've worn a few hats as an engineer, product marketer, program manager, and sales manager. I have a down-to-earth leadership style and get sh*t done work ethic. And, most importantly, it's all about the customer experience and making customers successful. In 3rd grade, I started selling Rubik's cubes to my classmates, ran a newspaper bike route until high school, and sold "double-D edge" knives in college. I enjoy fast-paced and entrepreneurial environments.I've always been in the digital and software space. As I date myself, I've learned and used technology from my TRS-80 (grade school), 8086 (middle school-Basic), Prime (high school-PASCAL), Sun Sparc20 (college-C/FORTRAN) to the Cloud (Today-Python/SQL). Technical experience : enterprise solutions, data analytics, machine learning (beginner level), 5 cloud developer/engineering certifications (AWS/Azure/GCP), & other real-world l33t stuff. I hold a BS in computer engineering and an MBA which helps provide a unique perspective to solving business problems using technology. And, finally, I've been an angel and early investor in a few startups like Miravoice, Hyperice, Skyryse, Legalzoom, Weddingwire, & Vectara.Thanks for reading this and following me! I hope to inspire and share learnings as I continue to grow.Final note: I recognize that there's a lot of "I" in this section. That's not typical. It's really about "We," "Our," and "Team."
