Global strategy and operations leader who developed from engineer to entrepreneur to marketplace specialist over a 25+ year career. I've directly built, scaled, and transformed successful two-sided marketplace businesses through all stages of growth, including pre- and post-IPO.
At Udemy (UDMY), I lead seller strategy for the world's largest learning marketplace, connecting millions of students with expert creators ("instructors") globally. My team enables top instructors worldwide to deliver learning content that meets the rapidly evolving needs of our business customers—a challenge accelerating dramatically in today's AI-transformed landscape.
I'm particularly excited about AI's potential to revolutionize how we learn and work online. I apply my technical background to identify strategic opportunities where AI can enhance marketplace dynamics while helping both our instructor community and learners adapt and thrive amid these technological shifts.
Key Strengths:
- Strategy & Operations: Expertise in online marketplace supply-demand dynamics.
- Technological Innovation: Ability to bridge technical possibilities with business strategy, leveraging engineering foundations and entrepreneurial experience.
- Leadership: Build and lead distributed global teams with a focus on autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
Outside work, I apply these same principles to WODwell, a bootstrapped fitness platform I co-created to help people train effectively from anywhere.
