About

I love to solve customer and business problems through modern technology, new product thinking and process innovation. Few specifics- - I thrive on ambiguous and complex problem spaces, and exploring unchartered territories. - I am adept at developing a product vision, and translating into an executable multi-year engineering and science roadmap. - I can build strong working relationships across the company and march different disciplines and teams towards a common goal - I can lead, develop and grow global and world-class product, science, engineering and operations teams of hundreds of people - Most importantly, I enjoy learning something new and doing work that has meaningful impact to Customers lives. I have had the privilege to build numerous products to solve problems across multiple businesses : Large language models, Generative AI for developer services, Internationalization for first in industry tools/services, Building and scaling 0-1, 1-100 products, Quality engineering for Voice. Multiple other areas in the past include: Fraud and Payment Risk Management, Reverse Logistics, Operations, Customer Experience, Seller facing services and tools, Customer care, Sales, Strategy and planning, Manufacturing and Finance. I thoroughly enjoy making new connections, hearing new perspectives and being challenged on status quo. Reach out if you want to talk to me about emerging tech, brainstorming on product solutions, or even if it is talking about the best places to hike, bike or grab coffee at PNW.
