Bio

I lead large infrastructure operations that power mid to large sized technology companies. Over the past 25+ years, I have helped hypergrowth companies transition their product from small to massive operational scale. I specialize in responsibly expanding operations in cloud transformations, database, data streaming/processing, business intelligence, site reliability, hardware development, business application, capacity budget forecasting, vendor negotiations/purchasing, forward/reverse supply chain design, manufacturing, customer relationship building, asset management, and program management. My efforts have influenced company metrics in delivery lead times, cost effectiveness, and reliability robustness of infrastructure. I’m formerly the Sr. Director at Twitter responsible for Twitter’s compute and storage hardware capacity deployed into data centers. My team comprised of leaders in hardware engineering, capacity planning, system engineering, vendor negotiations, supply chain architecture, and manufacturing engineering disciplines. Previously, I was at Google as an Operations Manager helping to scale infrastructure engineering and operations in program management, supply chain architecture, vendor negotiations, asset management, and infrastructure planning. At Sun Microsystems, I got my operations, manufacturing, engineering, and product development roots working across enterprise SPARC servers, storage, and x86 systems. I directly vendor-managed multiple products, from complete platforms to individual commodities. My passion revolves around building deeply motivated and highly successful teams. My teams are analytical in decision making, clear in communicating, and consistent in delivering innovative business results. I’ve led teams that have brokered supplier relationships with some of the most influential technology companies in the world, planned, built, and deployed hundreds of thousands of products (servers) powering to hundreds of millions of users, and directly managed annual budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
