About

I have 15+ years proven track record of delivering production infrastructure in both public/hybrid cloud, driving adoption of new technologies, managing vendor relationships, scaling teams, and achieving results in a sustainable and healthy way. I enjoy growing and building diverse and inclusive teams, working with partners, and collaborating across organizational boundaries. My strengths are having a passionate can-do attitude and entrepreneurial energy, ability to handle ambiguity, drive consensus, communicate well with both technical and non-technical audiences, and resolve conflict. I love a challenge and often volunteer for the projects nobody else wants. I strongly believe in amazing customer service skills in every position in technology, because people are the key to a successful business. I have over 10+ years experience in building and leading remote teams that are geographically distributed.
