How I Work

• Execution FirstStrategy counts once it ships. I set the plan, the cadence and the owners, and stay close until it lands.
• Strategy You Can RunA few clear bets, backed by the architecture and operating model to deliver them.
• Teams That DeliverI build teams from scratch, rebuild stalled ones, and grow people into leaders.
• Hands on the PlatformFifteen certifications and twenty years of architecture. I go deep with engineers, not just slides.

What I Do Now

I lead Partner Innovation Engineering at Salesforce: forward-deployed engineers who help strategic ISV partners design, build and launch on the platform. Before that I founded the Partner Solution Engineering team and grew it to ten engineers, two of whom now lead teams.

I created the Agentforce Partner Innovation Lab, a co-build sprint that grew from one pilot to several hubs. It takes partners from first build through Security Review to an AgentExchange listing.

Advisory & Executive Consulting

I help leadership teams where strategy, partner ecosystems and delivery meet, when they need a plan they can run and a team to run it.

• AI & Agentic StrategyWhere agents fit, what to build first, how to reach production.
• Partner EcosystemsCo-innovation programs, partner engineering and joint go-to-market.
• Enterprise ArchitectureCRM, data and integration architecture that scales.
• Building TeamsStanding up or rebuilding engineering and delivery teams.
