About Me
Drawing on more than 35 years of profound experience, I excel as a strategic executive and entrepreneurial leader at the intersection of enterprise technology, specializing in driving complex digital transformation and cloud modernization initiatives.
In my current capacity as a Leader in the Cloud Acceleration practice at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I manage high-impact, rapid prototyping engagements that translate cutting-edge emerging technologies into tangible business solutions for key customers. A notable achievement includes conceptualizing and launching the inaugural AWS Builder Studio, an immersive environment that demonstrates the potential of innovative AWS services, alongside cultivating a strategic partner ecosystem designed for scale.
My career trajectory is anchored by significant entrepreneurial leadership and global operational oversight. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Enterprise Software Solutions, Inc., I successfully led the organization for over 26 years, spearheading major business and data center consolidation efforts across international markets. I concurrently held a critical role at Unilever for 24 years, where I directed extensive global teams (onshore and offshore) to provide robust, 24/7 managed support for mission-critical applications.
My expertise spans strategic planning, executive leadership, and deep technical acumen. I leverage this comprehensive background to mentor cross-functional teams, foster innovation, and execute high-stakes projects that deliver substantial organizational impact and enduring value.
