As a business executive and technologist, I excel at establishing vision, setting goals, and leading cross-functional teams to success in an innovative, competitive, and technologically sophisticated market. Blending deep technical expertise with a larger business perspective, I am valued for helping businesses understand technology and how to utilize it. Known for driving customer acquisition and always leaving an organization better than when I got there, I go 100% all in to deliver improvements, build teams, and create capabilities that did not always seem possible. Currently, I am leading the successful re-entry into the Cloud Business for Jabil, a provider of electronics manufacturing services and solutions worldwide. As General Manager and VP with full P&L ownership, I direct the global next wave Cloud business development and operations. I am providing business leadership in guiding customers through OEM to ODM to CM platform design and supply chain transformation. Concurrently, as CTO & VP, I oversee customer engagement and strategic technology roadmaps, spanning data center products and platform development covering IaaS, SaaS, Big Data Hadoop, and hyperscale infrastructure. I have built a team of Cloud, product development, and engineering technical talent and integrated it with existing Jabil manufacturing and supply chain expertise that architects and develops Cloud platforms for Jabil customers. Previously, I progressed to senior technical leadership roles in Dell Technologies Cloud start up business unit, whose approach and resulting solutions became transformational for Dell and the entire market. I began my career in the Enterprise Product Group as a Mechanical Engineer. I hold multiple patents in the areas of Cloud, Server, and Data Center technology.
