About Me

Transformational tech leader.
Global advocate.

Driving $500M+ in growth through innovative GTM strategies, strategic alliances, and high-impact partnerships across global markets — from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.

I'm a Chief Partner Officer and SVP of Partnerships & Alliances with 25 years building AI and cybersecurity ecosystems for the world's largest tech platforms — including two tours at Microsoft, plus VMware and Avaya. My work spans mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, and global GTM programs that have reshaped competitive landscapes across 38+ countries.

In 2023, I became the only executive globally to be named Partner of the Year by Microsoft, Amazon, and Google in the same year — a Triple PoY recognition built on $1.5B+ in partner ARR, $500M+ in M&A, and a $17M hyperscaler investment (Project Titan) that returned 10x. I currently serve as Executive Advisor to 16 advisory clients on partnerships and M&A, and as a Forbes Business Council member writing on alliance strategy.

As CEO of Americans 4 Equality and a founding board member, I bring the same strategic playbook to underserved communities — running tech training, internship, and certification programs that have impacted thousands across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
