Ten years of taking technically complex software products to market, from first customers to enterprise scale. I do best when the product is on the cutting edge, the buyer knows more about the technology than most salespeople ever will, and getting it right has real consequences for the business. Right now, I'm leading GTM at Prefect. Prefect Cloud is the orchestration layer for enterprise data operations and AI. It's the infrastructure engineering teams trust to run mission-critical data, ML, and agentic workloads. Our open-source core has accumulated over 50% of Airflow's total lifetime downloads. Our managed platform is trusted by Progressive, Humana, Blackstone, JPMorgan, and Adobe; orchestrating 750M+ jobs a month across thousands of teams globally. Prefect Horizon is an enterprise MCP Gateway from the creators of FastMCP; the open-source MCP framework downloaded over 80 million times a month. It gives engineering and security teams centralized control over MCP server deployment, access, and governance, so enterprise data can be safely exposed to AI agents at scale. I care about finding product-market fit before it's obvious, applying first-principles thinking to growth, building systems that compound over time, and assembling teams that punch above their headcount. Building or scaling an enterprise data, ML, or AI platform? Let's talk.
