About

Technical product and GTM leader with 5+ years of experience operating across product strategy, solutions engineering, enterprise onboarding, and customer success. I bridge engineering, customer needs, and revenue to deliver high-impact SaaS solutions.

I’ve closed over $6M in ARR through hands-on technical solutioning with brands including Gucci, Sonos, Tapestry, Armani, and Valentino, while building XGEN AI’s CS function, leading POCs, and writing core product algorithms.

I thrive in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments where technical depth, customer empathy, and clear execution matter.
