previous roles

  1. kleene.ai

    Chief Technology Officer (Interim)

    As interim CTO, I led a comprehensive organizational transformation to prepare a high-growth AI and Big Data scale-up for Series B funding. I restructured the technical leadership, building a team of engineering managers and senior ICs to oversee a growing department of 30 developers, testers, product managers, and designers.

  2. Rota

    Chief Technology Officer

    I led the transformation of an underperforming tech team, building a robust engineering management structure to support the company's pivot from a marketplace platform to a workforce enterprise SaaS solution. This led up to Rota being acquired in 2022.

  3. Yabie

    Chief Technology Officer

    As CTO of Yabie, I built an agile team of 40 top-end software engineers (ex Apple, Spotify, Microsoft, Klarna) and quickly deployed business-critical software to retail partners in 6 months. I delivered a successful international product rollout with multiple clients, including Apple, Ikea, Klarna, Visa & Hastens. The product was mentioned as a success story by Apple CEO Tim Cook during the Salesforce Dreamforce conference in SF, 2019.

I combine technology strategy and engineering leadership with hands-on work across AI, data, and cloud platforms.
