The executive behind the transformation

I am a Digital Transformation Executive with over 20 years of experience driving enterprise-scale change at the intersection of cloud architecture, enterprise AI, and commercial strategy. At Capgemini, I lead Google Cloud and AWS alliance GTM across Transportation & Logistics, CPG, Retail, and adjacent verticals — translating hyperscaler ecosystems into revenue-generating programs and field-ready offers that win.

My career spans Capgemini, Aon, and Cognizant — each chapter deepening my fluency in large-scale delivery, commercial leadership, and platform transformation. I build the pursuit machinery that wins enterprise accounts, the architecture narratives that move executive committees, and the cross-functional practices that sustain competitive advantage over time. My work lives in the space where strategy becomes execution.

Beyond the deal, I'm a published author and active industry speaker — sharing what I've learned about cloud adoption, DevSecOps culture, and the practical realities of AI-native enterprise transformation. Writing and speaking are how I give back to a field that has shaped me.
