More

Over three decades across Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft, Dell EMC and Avaya, I have had the unusual opportunity to lead from multiple seats around the leadership table — field sales, marketing, channels, product portfolios and business units with P&L ownership. That breadth has shaped how I lead: understand what matters to each part of the organisation, align competing priorities, and get diverse teams moving together around the customer and the business The other constant in my career has been I have worked through successive technology shifts — from contact centres and enterprise communications to infrastructure, SaaS, cloud and now AI.

Business gives it purpose. People turn it into outcomes. That is where I have spent my career: building teams that want to win together, putting customers at the center, and turning technology transitions into sustainable Let's have a conversation: 9810131693 | com
