About

It is all about People, Passion and Authenticity for me — where everything is centered around our clients.

I have extensive leadership experience creating and delivering value through the meaningful use of technology: SAP, ServiceNow, Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft, Workday, and Artificial Intelligence.

My focus is to be an inclusive, open-minded, energizing, performance-centric leader — managing my organization with humility, creating space for people to contribute, commit, and deliver at their very best.

To bring organizations to the next level, I strongly believe in building silo-breaking, cross-functional teams beyond my direct reporting line, developing cohesive operational and strategic plans using the Sales and Operational Management playbooks I've developed over the years.

My passion is to learn and re-learn in today's unprecedented pace of change in technology, and the increasingly fluid borders among industries and businesses. It keeps me fresh — stepping in and leading as the leader of the team, and as a member of the team, when faced with a critical problem, or when shaping large and complex digital deals into business solutions with winning propositions for our clients. My current focus is AI, and deep AI understanding and use, as in the article below.
