In startup environments, has repeatedly scaled and professionalized engineering orgs (career ladders, evaluation systems, delivery process) and led high-stakes cloud/platform transformations—migrating off Heroku and consolidating fragmented AWS/GCP usage into a single GCP platform—improving reliability, deploy speed, and cutting cloud costs by 20%+.”

“Operations and GTM advisor for early-stage and scaling software companies who implements practical operating frameworks (RACI, OKRs) to translate founder vision into execution. Notable outcomes include cutting sales ramp time from 6–9 months to 3–4 months at OPSWAT through enablement programs and driving 124% of financial plan at Cradlepoint (2022) after cascading OKRs across the organization.”

Experienced with LangChain/LlamaIndex plus Airflow/Temporal-style orchestration, and applies rigorous evaluation/monitoring (A/B tests, drift detection, staged rollouts) to keep agentic systems reliable. Also partnered with a supply-chain manager at TE Connectivity to deliver an AI inventory recommendation tool projected to drive millions in value.”

“Early-stage GTM and revenue-operations builder who helped Seculert (cybersecurity breach detection) scale beyond founder-led sales as US employee #3, standing up TAM/ICP targeting, first SDR/AE hires, Salesforce, and lead scoring/qualification systems. Experienced mentoring founders/executives with lightweight, stage-appropriate operating cadences and playbooks to create repeatable pipeline and scalable execution.”

“Operations/finance leader with experience building the operational backbone for fast-growing firms, including setting up recordkeeping, internal controls, and brokerage-specific clearing firm decisions. Helped scale an entity from ~$30M to nearly ~$300M and later modernized consulting-firm expense operations by implementing Concur integrated with ERP, with a hands-on approach to systems selection and change management.”
