I have a track record of building and running successful start-ups and leading strategic, multi-million dollar initiatives for enterprise organizations such as Esri, IBM, and Thomson Reuters.
I lead strategic innovation and product/program management initiatives for the billion dollar, privately-held innovation leader. I oversee Esri's software testing (Alpha and Beta) programs, and Esri Labs - our innovation incubator.
Prior to my current role at Esri, I led the development of the first, highly successful mobile ERP app, and integrated several acquisitions for Thomson Reuters. I have led initiatives across banking & finance, business intelligence, education, GIS, legal, retail, software development, and telecommunications industries. As a trusted partner, I have designed, built, and implemented strategic solutions for several Fortune 100 companies.
I consider myself extremely fortunate and believe in giving back. You will often find me advocating and volunteering for social causes I truly believe in, especially around child education and nutrition. I serve on the board of Akshaya Patra in Los Angeles, and lead the Young Professionals group for Pratham SoCal. I have helped raise upwards of $5mn to eradicate poverty, hunger, child-labor, and educate under-served children.
I have a Doctorate in Strategy & Innovation and a MBA in Leadership and Organizational Change Management. I am also a certified Program and Project Manager - PgMP and PMP certifications from Project Management Institute (PMI).
As a Pepperdine alum, I love the waves and I'm an upcoming paddle-boarder. I am also an avid cyclist and have a few 100-mile rides under my saddle.
