Executive Overview

I am a global, Fortune 50 technology executive who has profitably scaled multi-billion-dollar businesses across both B2B, B2C, and DTC. Known as a transformational and collaborative leader for 25+ years, I have experience with extensive product strategy, P&L, and go-to-market execution in both developed and developing markets. I delivered top-line and bottom-line growth while navigating highly competitive markets via digital transformation, global expansion, and operational excellence. My personal agility enables me to learn fast, build capabilities and collaborate across cultures and boundaries, aided by my experience living and working in Asia for 7 years. Strengths include business execution, go-to-market strategy, business development and marketing, operational planning, financial acumen, a keen ability to work effectively across silos, and building, managing and leading large global teams. Experience and capabilities: *Currently, I am the SVP & Managing Director of North America for HP. I lead all aspects of HP’s go-to-market strategy and manage the multibillion-dollar P&L for the company’s largest geographic and revenue-generating region. I also oversee direct and indirect sales engagements across HP’s portfolio of products and services, for commercial, consumer and public sector customer segments. *Previously, I was the SVP & Chief Operating Officer for HP's Print Business leading a $17B P&L and product portfolio. I led new market growth/geographic expansion for hardware, services & subscriptions and marketing spend across countries/initiatives. *I have been a Product Owner running a $12B product portfolio as VP & GM of HP Home Printing (hardware, software, and subscriptions), including R&D, product marketing, quality, incubation, and strategic planning across an organization of 2,000 employees. I built additional expertise in customer insights, segmentation, product planning, re-positioning/re-branding, and product launch. *As an enthusiastic early adopter of technology and transformation principles enterprise-wide, I love unlocking human potential by collaborating across silos. *Frequent company spokesperson clearly articulated the company's vision, strategy, business performance, Sustainability and diversity initiatives; thought leadership to the press, investors, analysts, and stakeholders. *Passion for developing leaders and teams. *Board & community leadership experience.
