Turning technology into commercial growth

I work at the intersection of technical depth and commercial strategy — building digital-enabled business models, hybrid go-to-market motions and agentic AI that move enterprises forward.

20+ yrs enterprise & digital

A commercial leader who speaks fluent technology.

I believe the future of B2B commerce lies at the intersection of technical depth and commercial strategy. My work connects the two: translating emerging technology — most recently agentic AI — into business models, go-to-market motions and customer experiences that create measurable value.

Over 20+ years in a global enterprise environment, I've led at the seam between product, technology and the market — designing hybrid go-to-market approaches that blend digital scale with human relationships, and building the digital-enabled business models that sustain them.

Four fields where I create leverage

The themes I lead, advise and build around.

Agentic AI

Designing and deploying AI agents that don't just answer — they act. From workflow automation to autonomous decision support, turning frontier models into dependable operational capability.

01

Hybrid Go-to-Market

Blending digital scale with human relationships. Orchestrating self-serve, inside sales and field motions into one coherent, data-driven engine for growth across complex B2B markets.

02

Digital-Enabled Business Models

Reinventing how value is created and captured — from products to platforms, services and outcome-based models — with digital at the core rather than bolted on.

03

Technology & Innovation

Staying close to the edge — evaluating emerging technology with a pragmatic, value-first lens and building the bridges that carry it from proof-of-concept to production.

04

A career built in global enterprise

Leadership across technology, digital and the commercial front line.
