I’ve spent my career helping technology services firms grow - winning complex deals, building teams, and creating client relationships that actually At my core, I’m a sales leader who loves the chase, loves the strategy, and genuinely loves people.

I’m at my best sitting across the table from executives, simplifying complicated ideas, building trust, and helping organizations navigate change without getting buried in Over the years, I’ve led and helped close enterprise pursuits ranging from transformational programs to deals exceeding $200M. A big part of that success has never just been the technology - it’s been the ability to tell a compelling story, rally teams around it, and turn vision into something clients can actually believe Today, much of my focus is at the intersection of AI, enterprise transformation, and modern delivery models. I work with organizations trying to move beyond AI experimentation and into practical adoption - helping connect strategy, consulting, engineering, managed services, and AI-enabled delivery into something that creates real business I’m especially passionate about how AI is reshaping traditional technology services models - from how work gets delivered to how value gets measured. The firms that adapt fastest will look very different from the ones that dominated the last 20 What I enjoy most:* Leading large, strategic pursuits* Building high-performing teams and growth cultures* Turning emerging technology into business conversations executives actually care about* Helping clients rethink traditional delivery and operating models* Presenting, storytelling, and creating momentum around ideas that move organizations forwardI’ve always believed people buy confidence, clarity, and trust long before they buy services. The relationship still matters!
