I started my career designing wireless chips; WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, the kind that end up inside your smartphone and gaming console. Seeing products you helped build in people's hands does something to you.

That curiosity never left me. What I enjoy now is finding technically complex markets where the commercial and business model hasn't been figured out yet, and building the strategy to capture them. I've architected AI monetization models including pay-per-use, token, and API-based consumption pricing that unlocked $500M in run-rate, launched agentic AI product lines with full GTM strategies, and built hyperscaler partnerships across semiconductor, industrial, and SaaS markets. I'm most energized when there's no playbook. Blank slate to anchored business case; market thesis, partner ecosystem, go-to-market execution across Automotive, A&D, Industrial, EDA, and Cloud. Creativity, integrity, and staying grounded are the values I keep coming back to, in the work and in the people I want to work with.
