Vice President Marketing

I am a marketing, product and business leader with a broad technology and business experience in organizations and groups ranging from tens to thousands of people. I have led or supported the growth of multiple products and services in the AI, IoT, cloud (SaaS and API), software, hardware, integrated systems, and consulting markets. A serial in-house entrepreneur, I bridge the gap between complex technologies and nascent markets by driving product marketing and go-to-market from strategy to execution.
