I've spent 28 years at the intersection of technology strategy and business execution — turning engineering organizations into competitive advantages. I've led through acquisitions, rapid scale, and platform transformations across healthcare, SaaS, e-commerce, travel, and media. I don't just set direction; I stay in the work.
Brought in post-acquisition to right-size the business, reduce costs, stabilize the platform, and drive toward profitability — achieved within year one. Leading a globally distributed engineering organization, rolling out AI-enabled development practices and agentic tooling across all teams with measurable velocity gains. Present technology strategy and engineering investment decisions to board stakeholders.
Led engineering across 6 development teams spanning 13 applications. Built HealthStream's Capacity Management & Staffing vertical from a collection of acquisitions into a cohesive, best-of-breed product serving nurses and healthcare workers across 6 countries. Established shared engineering standards and consistent delivery cadence across teams previously operating in silos.
Scaled NurseGrid to the #1 nursing app in the U.S., then led technology through acquisition by HealthStream. Built and owned Engineering, QA, and IT Infrastructure. Designed data warehouse and BI platform as both an internal tool and a customer-facing offering. Presented product strategy and technology roadmap through the full acquisition process.
Created a new discipline to manage data-focused real-time integrations, contributing directly to 100%+ YoY revenue growth. Unblocked Platform and Product teams to accelerate core delivery. Built a self-sustaining team through targeted hiring tailored to real-time data integration work.
Joined when Vacasa operated in 8 U.S. states; by departure, expanded to most of the continental U.S. and 6+ countries. Built Engineering, Product, and QA from the ground up, scaling in step with aggressive company expansion. Implemented OKRs company-wide and owned the full security program — penetration testing, incident response, PCI compliance.
Led Engineering and Product for a fully in-house flash sales e-commerce platform in the outdoor industry. Owned the product roadmap end-to-end, bridging engineering and product to design consumer-facing features and internal tooling. Attracted and retained technical talent while building the platform to support rapid daily sale events at scale.
Built CMD's digital technical practice from the ground up — establishing processes, tooling, and team structure to deliver web and digital experiences for brand clients at scale. Accountable for group profitability, scoping, and on-time delivery. Served as senior technical expert for client presentations and business development.
25-year consulting practice spanning digital product strategy, brand experiences, team leadership, and creative production. Clients included Sony, Nike, Disney, Universal Music Group, Adobe, Intel, AT&T, and Renaissance Hotels. Also produced music, soundtrack scoring, and audio for video games and interactive media.
Open to conversations about executive technology leadership, platform transformation, or building engineering organizations that last.
