Executive Overview

I am a seasoned CxO with over 30+ years of experience in board governance, digital business, brand building, operations, and demand generation across multiple global technology and product industries. Most recently, as the Chief Growth Officer and Global Technology Business Group Lead at Avanade, I was responsible for driving the go-to-market strategy end to end across our business, including accountability for the full end to end of Avanade's Technology Solutions and Technology Go To Market efforts. I excel in leading and mentoring globally distributed teams and building strong relationships with demanding, high-profile clients. I am a collaborative and results-driven executive who understands what it means to build sustaining enterprise value. I am also a board advisor, a strategy coach, and a Fast Company Executive Board Member, where I share my insights and expertise on digital transformation, enterprise value creation, partnership development, and international business operations. I currently serve on the board of AHEAD and phData - both mid stage growth companies. I also provide advisory services to Hope Platform (early stage mental health tech start up) and a handful of PE investment firms.
