Executive CIO/CTO specializing in enterprise transformation across retail, e-commerce, and AI

“Senior technology executive (CTO/SVP Technology, also board member) with experience modernizing legacy environments and scaling teams in high-growth and PE-owned contexts. Architected a standardized enterprise platform (ERP/WMS/CRM/POS/eComm/DWH/BI/integration) to rapidly migrate acquisitions—moving 7 companies in under 3 years and cutting migration timelines ~4x—while also driving major org redesign and hiring acceleration (30+ hires in 6 months).”

“Explored a digital notarization startup concept in 2020 that stalled due to COVID-era inability to secure VC seed meetings; later saw the market validate the idea via a comparable acquisition (~$57M, per candidate).
