Executive AI technology leader specializing in agentic AI and enterprise transformation

22y exp

“Candidate is exploring a startup in the autonomous agentic AI space and is approaching it with a disciplined founder mindset. They are evaluating market opportunity, competition, customer pain, ROI, technical feasibility, and MVP options while already speaking with potential customers across verticals to validate needs and buying processes.”

“Engineering leader who drove Lightroom Mobile’s roadmap at Adobe by enforcing reuse of Photoshop imaging tech to deliver RAW, non-destructive mobile editing with full Creative Cloud compatibility. 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%+.”

“Strategy and operations leader with experience spanning Anheuser-Busch and McMaster-Carr, combining large-scale cost ownership, frontline operations leadership, and sourcing strategy. Particularly compelling for operationally intensive roles: they’ve managed a 150-person service organization, owned a ~$750M cost base, built strategy in ambiguous environments, and independently drove an LLM automation pilot that reached 97% accuracy and saved 3 FTEs.”

“Engineering manager/player-coach in the Alexa media ecosystem who led delivery of a Tier-1 gateway service enabling third-party providers (e.g., Spotify/Pandora) to control playback across users’ Echo devices, driving 10–15% lifts in engagement metrics. Deep in API design, AWS infrastructure choices (EC2 vs Fargate), OAuth/LWA auth flows, and production rigor (security reviews, load testing, feature-gated dial-ups), with demonstrated incident ownership and operational automation wins.”

Executive Platform & Security Engineering leader specializing in multi-cloud Kubernetes and FinTech

San Diego County, USA18y exp

“Startup-focused infrastructure/security leader who stepped into head of engineering and re-platformed an entire product end-to-end in 3 months to meet launch. In crypto/fintech, recognized the market-data system as an ETL/data product and rebuilt it as a separable, securely accessible platform—prompting inbound interest within a week—while advocating an open-source-first observability stack (Prometheus/Grafana/Loki) to avoid vendor lock-in.”
