Being a growth-minded business professional is my primary focus.

I find satisfaction in engaging in complex business and executive sales discussions. While this may not be widely acknowledged, it forces a unique perspective and compels me to reevaluate any given situation. I find that great ideas often originate from adopting a distinct viewpoint, characterized by differentiation.

My other passion is traveling the world.

In my personal experience, travel has been a significant avenue for expanding my social circle. Having dedicated nearly two decades to the sales & technology industry, I have had many opportunities to interact with a diverse range of individuals. Through my travels, I have encountered some of the most compassionate people across the country that taught me about culture, food, and language, from their own perspectives.

Grounded in family. Focused on growth. Ready for what’s next.

Industry: Telecom

Headquartered: USA

Employees: 20,000+

This U.S.-based public technology company is a global leader in mission‑critical safety and security solutions. They deliver an integrated ecosystem of critical communications, video security and access control, and command center software that supports public safety agencies and enterprise customers worldwide.

As a security-first technology company, they were faced with optimizing mobile & radio telecommunications devices to deliver mission-critical alerts to ground personnel. Multiple acquisitions also made it challenging to integrate telematic data, video-feed analytics, and call-talking software. This data needed to be standardized and accessed from a single platform.

Industry: Eyewear

Headquartered: Europe

Employees: 190,000+

This global conglomerate is the world’s dominant force in vision care and eyewear, operating as a vertically integrated leader across lenses, frames, retail, and optical technology. Formed prior to 2020 through the merger of two industry giants, this company has rapidly become the most influential player in the global optical ecosystem.

As a major optometry practice and Software as a Service (SaaS) user, this client required assistance migrating their Amazon AWS data to Microsoft Azure, modernizing enterprise applications, and reducing operational costs.

Industry: Aviation

Headquartered: USA

Employees: 100,000+

This aviation giant is the world’s largest airline by passengers carried and daily flights. Headquartered in the U.S., it operates an expansive global network that connects nearly 350 destinations across 48 countries, supported by a fleet of more than 1,000 aircraft.

This airlines business was sensitive to reliability, speed of change, and scale, and their technology leadership team emphasized the requirement to solve these challenges. Having a legacy and siloed technology architecture made application delivery and IT systems unreliable. This translated to an unacceptable user experience and made flight operations difficult to manage.

Industry: Retail

Headquartered: USA

Employees: 130,000+

This convenience retail operator is one of the world’s largest and most recognizable convenience store networks, with more than 80,000 locations across 20 or more countries and territories. Headquartered in U.S., this company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of a major international retail holding group and serves as the flagship brand within its global portfolio.

Multiple global retail convenience stores were in the midst of a long-term modernization journey but needed immediate help to update its outdated back-office computer infrastructure and software management portfolio. Employee retention suffered from inefficient technologies, causing issues when handling onsite inventory, logistics, and other necessary store tasks.

Industry: Healthcare

Headquartered: USA

Employees: 170,000+

Headquartered in U.S., it operates across more than 20 states, with a footprint that includes 140+ hospitals and more than 700 care sites, making it the country’s largest hospital systems.

This particular client was at its pivotal moment to drive $400M+ of digital transformation initiatives from providing traditional healthcare to a tech-enabled patient-centric health system. Standardization across the enterprise was a recent strategy message that highlights unifying organizational programs, platforms, and systems to drive market dominance, increase performance, and user consistency.

Joe Hackett, High‑energy metal cutting operation illustrating precision fabrication and production capacity used to support our manufacturing sales play

Industry: Manufacturing

Headquartered: USA

Employees: 1,000

This major manufacturing company is a leading producer of steel joists and steel deck systems, serving commercial and industrial construction projects across all 50 states. Founded in the 1970’s, the organization has built a reputation for engineering excellence, responsive service, and a safety‑first culture.

This manufacturer was dealt with a company divestiture in the middle of their infrastructure modernization project and needed an independent IT operating model quickly. They ran a distributed manufacturing footprint, so the business impact of IT disruption is immediate: plant downtime, missed production windows, lost margin, and shipping delays.
