Co-founder of Cognosos, where I helped grow the company from concept to $300M+ valuation — building the core SaaS platform, launching new markets in logistics and healthcare, and leading innovation across real-time location (RTLS), AI/ML, and IoT architecture. I've been responsible for company-defining initiatives across product, technology, and strategy — from early prototyping through scale, M&A, and executive transitions.
Over the past two decades, I’ve helped lead multiple startups and product organizations, with earlier roles as Chief Architect at E*TRADE and Head of Products at eVestment (now part of Nasdaq). That mix of startup and enterprise experience shaped how I think about platform scale, disciplined execution, and solving real problems in complex environments.
At Cognosos, I’ve driven strategic decisions that cut across product and technology — setting direction, aligning resources, and helping guide the business through multiple phases of reinvention and growth. I’ve worked directly with the board, investors, and executive team to navigate key milestones, including capital raises, customer churn, new market entries, and the integration of acquired companies. As a founder, I’ve operated at the intersection of vision, delivery, and accountability — often filling roles across product, strategy, and innovation long before they were formalized.
I thrive where complexity needs clarity, and where leadership means helping teams move with focus — whether building something from scratch or scaling something that works. I’m especially drawn to companies solving hard operational problems through technology: asset tracking, digital twins, data-powered systems, and infrastructure that connects the physical and digital worlds. 
I have over three decades of experience building and leading technology teams and companies that create and leverage software to address risk and boost corporate performance. My expertise spans leading the convergence of business analytics, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, developing and executing impactful business strategies and taking a company from inception to IPO through a successful exit. At Atlanta-based Venture Capital firm, TechOperators, I am focused on helping forward-thinking tech entrepreneurs build legendary companies. In partnering with TechOperators, companies benefit from our team’s highly collaborative focus and deep experience operating software businesses. Everyone at Tech Operators has lived through the various stages of company growth.
Prior to my role at TechOperators, I was the founder and CEO of Oversight Systems and also held executive level positions at Internet Security Systems (ISS) and Symantec as well as Oracle, Red Brick Systems, GO, Air2Web and Fast-Talk. I have been a frequent speaker and presenter at a wide variety of conferences and co-authored the book, Robo-Auditing: Using Artificial Intelligence to Optimize Corporate Financial Processes. I am proud to have earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech.
