Bio

Executive | Enterprise Software | Telecommunications I have 25 years of enterprise software experience – the last 10+ as a CEO specializing in turnarounds. Previously I was CEO of Optiva, where I pivoted the company to become a leader in cloud-native BSS/OSS on the public cloud. And now, I’ve found my calling: I’m on a mission to help the telecom industry move all of your applications to the public cloud and more fully embrace all the competitive advantages it has to offer. I’m not your typical executive leader. I combine my deep experience transforming cost structures, growing revenues, building teams, and developing loyal customer relationships with a strong background in recruiting, training, compensation, and software development.

And I love dining at Michelin 3 star restaurants.
