Corporate Strategy · AI Product Leadership · Management Consulting

Turning AI complexity into enduring business value.

I'm an MBA candidate and technology leader with 9+ years driving corporate strategy and AI product management at Amazon, Oracle, Rakuten, Cisco & Microsoft — securing VP-level buy-in, owning multi-quarter roadmaps, and converting frontier technology into million-dollar revenue growth and lasting organizational change.

01 Profile

The intersection of technology and the boardroom.

I lead at the seam where deep technology meets business strategy. Over 9+ years, I've moved from building the models to defining the roadmaps that fund them — authoring 45 business cases that secured VP-level approval for 12 strategic initiatives across Amazon's Retail, Devices, Prime Video and AWS organizations.

My work is measured in outcomes the C-suite cares about: a $20M ARR portfolio at Oracle, 44% CTR and 16% revenue lift from AI personalization at Amazon, a 3× reduction in operating expense for 70M customers, and go-to-market cycles shortened by 25%. I translate complex AI/ML architectures into scalable business value and long-term organizational change.

Equally, I build the teams that deliver it. I've mentored 51 engineers across 7 teams, led talent development and change management, introduced recognition programs and hackathons, and set the AI product vision for entire organizations. My STEM MBA at Ohio State's Fisher College — where I'm a Leadership Fellow and Graduate Assistant — formalizes the finance, strategy and product-management craft behind that instinct.

I'm now focused on strategy, product and management consulting roles where I can pair rigorous, data-driven decision-making with the ability to rally cross-functional teams around an ambitious vision.

03 Track Record

Nine years of measurable impact.

Each role framed as it would be in a consulting case: the context, the numbers, and what I actually drove.

05 Leadership Philosophy

How I lead and decide.

🧭

Start from the true problem

Great strategy comes from uncovering the real challenge behind the stated one. I frame ambiguity into structured, testable hypotheses before committing resources — the same instinct that turned 45 business cases into 12 funded initiatives.

📊

Decide with data, act with conviction

Rational, evidence-based decision-making under uncertainty is the core of the craft. I pair quantitative rigor with the judgment to move decisively once the data points the way.

🌱

Build people, not just products

Mentoring 51 engineers and running recognition programs taught me that durable results come from teams that grow. I invest in talent, coaching and a culture of path-breaking work.

🏛️

Optimize for what endures

I care about the long-term scalability of a solution and lasting organizational change — delivering results that endure long after a project concludes, not just the quarterly win.
