Strategic CTO with ML/AI patents and a track record scaling companies through venture funding and acquisition. I thrive in high-growth environments, building high-performing teams, aligning product and technology, and delivering measurable impact at scale. I’ve led organizations through rapid growth, fundraising, and private equity acquisition, including scaling from early-stage through Series B and its PE exit. I hold multiple patents in ML and AI, earned before the gen AI wave, reflecting my ability to shape emerging technologies. Earlier in my career, I spent 5 years building and launching mobile apps, delivering 50+ iOS and Android products for startups and global enterprises. This experience shaped how I think about velocity, UX, and balancing scale with usability. At Tatango, I serve as CTO of an omnichannel marketing automation platform powering AI-driven engagement and high-scale messaging for nonprofits. We’ve implemented advanced GenAI techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to combine proprietary data with LLM’s delivering brand-safe, context-aware content at scale. I’ve also led initiatives including large-scale data migrations, compliance infrastructure, and AI-native features like Smart Send Time and Power Segments.
