Enterprise Software Executive Driving Product Focus, Execution, and Scale for Growing Companies
Leadership experience spanning enterprise technology, strategic transformation, and high-growth product organizations (Commvault, BCG, Carrick Capital Partners, AppIQ, Desktone; Wharton MBA).
How I Operate
Set product vision and direction. Make a small number of high-conviction bets that impact growth, margin, and competitive position.
Drive portfolio prioritization and tradeoffs. Decide what gets built, sequenced, or stopped by balancing customer impact, effort, and business return.
Turn technology into product and revenue. Align platform and AI choices, pricing, and packaging to drive adoption and monetization.
Own product outcomes and P&L impact. Take accountability for adoption, retention, pricing performance, and unit economics.
Build product and engineering organizations and operating models that scale. Develop strong teams, clear ownership, and disciplined operating cadence that sustain speed, quality, and focus as the company grows.
Operating Perspective
Rigor improves throughput. PDLC discipline, tight Agile execution, and a strong operating system drive high-performing teams.
The last mile determines product success. Engineering is expected; adoption is won through positioning, pricing, packaging, and distribution.
Customer pain comes first. For most products, pipeline is not revenue; products win by solving real customer problems.
Focus beats ambition. Fewer priorities, executed well, outperform broad roadmaps.
Talent density matters more than size. Small, empowered teams with high standards out-execute larger organizations.
