I am a technology and product leader with more than six years of experience applying technology to business challenges, and a track record of more than $3.5M in business value delivered. I lead cross-functional teams that align product with strategy to improve operational efficiency, customer engagement, and competitiveness.

I previously co-founded VGD Technologies, an IT consulting and development company, and I hold a Master of Global Management from Thunderbird School of Global Management and a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering.
