About
Strategist. Technologist. Builder.

His engagements focus on building the commercial infrastructure — narrative, GTM motion, pipeline, and content — that engineering-led companies need to compete. He operates as an embedded commercial leader, not an outside advisor, working directly with CEOs and reporting to the board. He uses an AI-native operating model to deliver the output of a full marketing team without the headcount cost.
