I'm SVP of Sales & Channels at Forward Edge-AI, where I'm building the commercial engine for one of the most technically differentiated AI and quantum resilience companies in the defense sector.

Our portfolio; Blaise, Isidore Quantum, Gabriel, and SmartBeam-QRC, addresses problems that matter: post-quantum cryptographic readiness, secure autonomous decisioning, and trustworthy AI for mission-critical environments. I'm scaling our sales team and translating a founder-led, NSF-backed R&D engine into repeatable revenue across federal, commercial, international, and space verticals. Before Forward Edge-AI, I spent six years at Dell Technologies, most recently as Global Head of Alliances & GTM for Project Fort Zero in the Office of the CTO leading the partner ecosystem behind a multibillion-dollar Zero Trust security architecture. Earlier at Dell I ran the Global Networking, Security, and Telecom Resell Partner program and scaled it from roughly $200M to over $500M in partner-influenced revenue. Prior to Dell, I led worldwide business development at CommScope and authored certification programs at Ruckus Networks that trained a generation of global service providers. I started my career as a network and wireless design engineer, which is still how I think: you solve for the physics and the business case at the same time. What I care about: helping complex, high-stakes organizations buy and deploy technology that actually works, not just technology that demos well. I've spent my career at the intersection of networking, security, and now AI, and I'm convinced the next decade belongs to leaders who can operationalize AI and quantum-resilient architectures without losing the trust of the people who depend on them. I've been recognized in Marquis Who's Who in America and Continental Who's Who 2025 for work in this space. Always open to conversations with defense and commercial leaders, channel partners, and peers building in AI, quantum, or Zero Trust.
