CTO who led 7 tech startups to successful exits, exceeding $2 billion in total value
View on LinkedInWith over three decades of experience as a software executive, I've built and scaled world-class engineering organizations across both venture-backed startups and Fortune 500 companies. I've played a pivotal role in the creation of innovative software products and have successfully guided seven companies through IPOs and M&A exits. My approach is rooted in "working backward" from the customer's needs, ensuring that every decision — whether technical or product-focused — is deeply informed by real user insights and market demands. I'm passionate about helping companies drive breakthrough innovation, transforming technology organizations into agile, high-performing teams, and guiding startups to build scalable, market-leading platforms.
I specialize in delivering results that drive innovation and operational excellence, shaping technology vision, scaling engineering teams, and aligning product strategies. I've guided multiple venture-backed startups from product-market fit to successful acquisitions. At Fleetsmith, I scaled a cloud-based device management platform, contributing to its acquisition by Apple. At Ampush, I led the engineering organization, developing the AMP software platform. At newScale, I led a major platform re-architecture, driving the company's position as a leader in cloud management and contributing to its acquisition by Cisco.
I bring a blend of strategic insight and hands-on leadership to ensure that technology solutions deliver both immediate and long-term value. My focus is on helping companies shape their technology vision, scale their teams and infrastructure, and navigate the complexities of rapid growth. I am committed to driving innovation, building high-performance teams, and delivering sustainable value for businesses looking to scale their technology platforms and achieve lasting success.
