About

20+ years of software leadership distilled into a single mission: turning complex technology into scalable business advantage.

As CTO at Liferay, I led a global technology organization spanning Engineering, Cloud, Security, and IT — at its peak representing 40% of total headcount across 15+ countries. The thread through my career is what I call "Translational Leadership": the ability to sit at the intersection of engineering, security, product, and business strategy, and make each function more effective.

What this looks like in practice:

• Scaling cloud infrastructure from zero to enterprise-grade across 16 global regions, driving 8x customer growth and $20M+ in incremental ARR
• Deploying GenAI initiatives that cut support resolution time by 75% while securing one of the world's first ISO/IEC 42001 AI governance certifications
• Building and mentoring high-performing distributed teams — not just hiring, but creating cultures where engineers grow into leaders
• Owning P&L, product roadmap, and go-to-market alignment — the commercial fluency that comes from an MBA (Illinois) and executive education at Wharton

My background as a software architect keeps me grounded in the technical trade-offs that define product quality. My business training gives me the language to partner with Sales, Finance, and Legal on strategy that actually ships.
