As a transformational technology leader and strategic partner to the business, with deep expertise in change management and stakeholder adoption, I excel in delivering impact within fast-paced, fast-changing growth environments. Leveraging a background that spans across real estate, facilities management, construction management, private equity, consulting, and media, I am known for my ability to rally teams during periods of immense change, ambiguity, and setbacks.
Fast-tracked as an infrastructure IT and building technology leader at global coworking space provider, WeWork. Through the years, I was integral in ensuring the success of M&A integrations, carve-outs, and franchise TSA agreements, as WeWork embarked on an ambitious growth vision and constant evolution of assets and strategy.
As Vice President of Technology, Architecture, and Solutions and acting CTO, I am consistently demonstrating significant business impact via digital transformation, successful global deployments, and innovative AI solutioning that has powered global expansion and hyper-scale, seamless customer experiences, game-changing sales enablement and data visibility, and critical collaboration across a globally distributed workforce.

Passions
When out of the office, I spend my time out in the woods up in the Catskills, summers on the boat and winters on the snowmobile. Weekends in between are spent doing work around the house like chopping wood or building something with my hands, unless the Buckeyes are on TV. The refuge of the wilderness allows me to reflect on previous weeks work and plan ahead for success.
