With 27+ years of technology leadership—the last several at the frontier of Artificial Intelligence—I specialize in bridging the gap between technical innovation and enterprise AI adoption.

My expertise lies in translating complex AI capabilities into the ROI-driven business cases required by CFOs and the C-suite. I am currently re-imagining data center infrastructure for the AI inference and agentic era, leading the transition toward inference-optimized heterogeneous data centers. I partner with Fortune 500 executives to transform technical hesitation into commercial conviction and scalable results. Executive Impact at Intel Corporation: Currently, I lead Product Management, GTM & Customer Success for AI Accelerators. I own the end-to-end product roadmap—from next-generation silicon architecture through the software stack (AI toolkits, SDKs) to customer-facing deployment. • Built a $4B+ global consumption pipeline. • Secured 30+ design wins across Fortune 500 enterprises and next-wave cloud providers. As Head of Intel’s AI Acceleration Office (reported to the CEO), I drove company-wide AI strategy and led the creation of OPEA and GTM for Ultra Ethernet under the Linux Foundation. A Legacy of Category Creation: My leadership spans the entire product lifecycle, from founding new business units to launching industry-defining categories. I bridge deep technical engineering with commercial execution, served on the NASA board and shaping global AI standards. • Venture Incubation (Intel Drone Group): Founded and scaled a global BU from zero to 200 people. Managed full-stack HW/SW/Cloud development. Orchestrated 600+ performances (Olympics, Super Bowl, Disney), secured 5 Guinness World Records, with a successful exit. • AI & Computer Vision (Intel RealSense): Core founding member; led business acceleration with 25+ enterprise wins in the first two years. • Market Innovation (Netbook & Chromebook): Pioneered the Netbook category ($4B revenue), establishing the foundation for the first Google Chromebook. • Platform Launch & Executive Operations: Launched Intel Centrino globally (first IA MacBook) and as Chief of Staff to the GM of Intel’s $35B PC Client Group, overseeing global strategy and operational execution. Strategic Governance & Thought Leadership • Federal Advisory: Appointed to the NASA Advisory Council (Aeronautics) and the FAA Drone Rulemaking Committee. • Public Speaking: CES 2026 Keynote (“Scaling AI in the Real World”), Six Five Summit, and the Global IndiaAI Summit. • Holder of 4 patents and multiple industry innovation awards.
