CTO-level leadership | Technology Executive | Product-Driven Leader | Scaling and Optimizing SaaS Products & Engineering Teams
Strategic, hands-on technology leader with 20+ years of experience driving innovation, growth, and operational excellence across SaaS, B2B, and B2C platforms. I specialize in building and scaling high-performing engineering teams and delivering cloud-native solutions that align tightly with business goals.

My approach blends product thinking, technical depth, and operational discipline — enabling fast, high-quality execution across complex environments. I'm also highly effective at identifying and acquiring top talent, having built multiple global teams from the ground up.

I've led distributed organizations, launched new products, modernized legacy systems, and delivered measurable outcomes in startup and growth-stage settings. Equally comfortable in executive conversations and technical deep dives, I serve as a trusted partner to founders, stakeholders, and investors.
