ex-SAPWhen CEOs and leaders make big commitments, and the board or Wall Street is watching, that’s where I come in. I step in with senior horsepower to lead initiatives across product, pricing, go-to-market, and applied AI.

From setting the strategy to driving execution, I stay close to the work and make sure it moves in the right direction. I’m able to do this because I’ve been here before. Over 26 years, I’ve built and taken B2B and B2B2C SaaS and iPaaS products to market across growth-stage companies, PE- and VC-backed environments, and Fortune 500 teams. I’ve worked closely with CEOs, boards, and investors through moments where growth stalled, pricing needed a reset, AI created both opportunity and noise, or the company simply needed to level up fast. What I bring is calm focus and high energy, especially when the work is complex. I’m a storyteller at heart, translating the technical how into a clear business why so teams align and customers actually understand the value. That clarity helps leaders cut through noise, make the hard calls, and move forward with confidence. Pinnacle Genie is the vehicle for this work. The structure of each engagement varies, but I remain directly involved and accountable for the outcomes. Outside of work, I mentor high school and college students on STEM and business, stay active, and recharge with my poodle. I care about clarity, trust, and doing meaningful work the right way.
