As the Chief Technology Officer of Loadsmart, I lead a team working to fearlessly reinvent the future of freight and help shippers, brokers, and carriers to Move More with Less. Pairing logistics technology with deep industry expertise, our best-in-class platform and custom solutions fuel business growth, simplify operations, and increase efficiency for carriers and shippers alike. I have a history of providing the technology vision, strategy, and leadership to steer organizations through rapid growth, successful IPOs, acquisitions, and beyond. Highlights of my career: ● Led transformation of Appetize by modernizing and optimizing the platform, reducing R&D costs, and growing the operations and engineering teams, which contributed to a successful acquisition in 2021. ● Initiated a transformation of Blackline’s technology organization and platform to support rapid growth and ensure exceptional service to its 2,000+ clients (including more than half of the Fortune 500) which was instrumental in the company’s successful IPO in October 2016. ● As one of the first employees of Rent.com, provided the technology leadership to take the company from a struggling startup to an industry leader and innovator. Helped steer the technology organization through 2 acquisitions (first to eBay and then to TPG/RentPath). ● As an early employee of Stamps.com, built the website under a very aggressive timeline, enabling a successful IPO and a second public offering later that same year. ● Joined CitySearch as an early-stage startup and helped to build the technology stack from the ground up, resulting in a successful acquisition and IPO. Known for my collaborative and business-oriented leadership style, I am committed to motivating employees by making their contributions to the organization clear. My teams have worked harder because they see why their efforts are so important. I have a reputation for attracting and retaining top talent, maintaining exceptional retention rates even through difficult acquisitions and transitions.

As the Director of Renewals, Customer Team at BlackLine, I lead a global team focused on client renewals and collaborate closely with Sales and Account Management to drive Growth and Retention initiatives. With over 20 years of experience in strategic business leadership, customer relationship management, account management, sales, and sales operations, I’ve worked with a range of organizations—ranging from start-ups and pre-IPO companies to public tech firms and financial institutions. I’m passionate about building strong cross-functional relationships both internally and externally to drive business success and align with the company’s mission. Whether you're in acquisition mode and need guidance on contracts and integrations, in scaling mode and looking for territory planning strategies, or in growth and maturing mode focused on NRR and adoption, I’m always eager to connect and share insights. 3rd Party Analysis over the years: https://www.saastr.com/5-interesting-learnings-from-blackline-at-400000000-in-arr/ https://www.saastr.com/5-interesting-learnings-from-blackline-at-600000000-in-arr/
