I build the systems companies need when the path is unclear.
Founder-operator with 13+ years across product, engineering, operations, strategy, and venture building — turning ambiguity into scalable systems, teams, and execution.
I am strongest when a company has an important but ambiguous problem and needs someone to find the highest-value constraint, create structure, and take ownership across technology, operations, people, and execution.
I build the systems that help companies operate at their best.
AI-Native Operations
I design systems, workflows, and decision loops that help companies use AI beyond experiments — as part of how work gets planned, executed, reviewed, and improved.
Product & Engineering Leadership
I lead product and engineering from architecture to delivery, connecting technical systems to business outcomes.
Venture & Operating Leadership
I build ventures, teams, processes, and execution models in ambiguous environments where ownership matters more than job descriptions.
Resilient Long-Cycle Leadership
I stay close to the mission through growth, pressure, transition, and complexity. I am not only useful when things are easy.
The teams and companies where I do my best work.
- Founder-led companies needing operational structure
- Scale-ups professionalizing product, tech, and execution
- Companies adopting AI at the management & operations level
- Venture builders and studios
- Companies in transition or strategic complexity
- Units where technology and operations are tightly linked

How I lead.
Mission over title
I go where the company's highest-value constraint is.
Systems over tasks
I build the system that makes better work possible — not just the work.
Resilience over optics
I stay through hard phases, not only growth phases.
Technology as leverage
Engineering, AI, and automation matter when they unlock execution.
Trust-based leadership
Teams follow leaders who own outcomes and stay present under pressure.
