Engineering Leader | Product & UX Strategy
I bring teams together around a common goal and turn open-ended problems
into a clear path forward. Over 15 years across financial services,
insurance, publishing, and enterprise software, I’ve led global
engineering and UX teams across 25+ enterprise clients and delivered a 35%
gain in process efficiency. Now I’m applying that same drive to
AI-assisted development, without losing the stakeholder alignment that
gets results.
