About
I'm a founder and product strategist building AI platforms that turn raw capability into practical, applied intelligence, solving the high-stakes, real-world problems that actually move organizations forward.
With 18+ years scaling infrastructure platforms, leading 0→1 product initiatives and driving strategic alignment at places like Instagram, SentinelOne, Oracle and Criteo - I bring battle-tested systems thinking and execution muscle to what I'm creating next.
Right now, the focus is on the critical bridge: helping teams move beyond AI pilots and hype into platforms that deliver measurable impact today while setting up the scalable intelligence of tomorrow.
Whether you're navigating AI adoption, shaping platform strategy, or figuring out your next 0→1 move, I'm here as a thought partner who's been deep in the trenches and is actively building what's next.
Always learning. Always shipping. Let's connect if you're exploring applied AI or product-led transformation.
