Connecting technology to real world problems is the thing I enjoy most. I started with an undergraduate degree in business, then received an M.S. in Computer Science from Tulane University. Being technical, I like to take the approach of rolling up my sleeves and digging in deeply to begin. This helps me to understand what the technology truly does and how, but also to look for things that may seem “mundane” but provide a unique way to solve a real problem that may have been overlooked.

Having the business background has always influenced how I look at technology. I am always looking for the “who cares and why”. Crafting this message to specific opportunities, or more broadly to impact product messaging, is where I excel.

I have done this at larger companies like Oracle, and smaller startups, like Elastic. I have worked with products that generate $50M a year in revenue to products that generate $Bs in revenue and supported field organizations and opportunity sizes all over the map.
