Global digital executive with a lifelong passion for transformation—of systems, teams, and possibilities. I’ve led complex, cross-functional programs that blend technology and process change to unlock new business models, redefine KPIs, and deliver measurable value across industries. My leadership philosophy is simple: empower people to do what they haven’t done before. Whether guiding enterprise-wide strategy or rolling up my sleeves with operational teams, I build trust, clarity, and momentum. Industry Expertise: • Intelligent Buildings, IoT, and Connected Services • Lean Manufacturing and Supply Chain Optimization • Finance and Back-Office Transformation • Sales and Service Productivity • Acquisition Integration and Change Management Technology Leadership: • Cloud, Hybrid, and On-Premise Architectures • Application and Infrastructure Modernization • Right-Sourcing and Scalable Resource Models • Governance, Compliance, and Risk Frameworks I’ve spent my career navigating complexity with calm resolve. Two moments etched in memory continue to guide me: Challenger (1/28/1986) — Listen to the experts. Columbia (2/1/2003) — Always know your Plan B. These lessons—alongside the quiet wisdom of Kipling and Rilke—shape how I lead, how I build, and how I serve: “If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same…” – If, Rudyard Kipling “Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.” – Go to the Limits of Your Longing, Rainer Maria Rilke I believe in legacy—not just what we build, but what we leave behind in others. Let’s connect if you’re building something bold, meaningful, or built to last.
