Customer support should never be viewed as a cost center—it should be a company's competitive advantage.

For 25+ years, I've helped technology companies transform global customer support into a strategic business function that drives customer loyalty, product adoption, operational excellence, and revenue growth.
I've built and scaled worldwide support organizations across SaaS, Cloud, AI, Robotics, Networking, Enterprise Software, and Autonomous Systems, leading teams at AWS, Cisco, Juniper Networks, TIBCO, Dexterity, and Skydio. Throughout my career, I've partnered with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Sales, and Executive Leadership to deliver exceptional customer experiences while improving business outcomes.

• Global Customer Support & Customer Operations
• AI-Powered Support Transformation
• Customer Experience (CX) & Voice of the Customer (VoC)
• Executive Escalation Management
• Workforce Planning & Organizational Design
• Operational Excellence & Service Delivery
• Executive Business Reviews
• Support Engineering & Knowledge Management
• Cross-functional Leadership
• Digital Transformation
Selected business impact:
✔ Grew premium support revenue by 150% YoY
✔ Influenced $40M+ in recurring service revenue
✔ Led support for strategic enterprise customers representing $1B+ in annual business
✔ Scaled global support organizations by 500%
✔ Delivered 99.999% uptime for mission-critical autonomous platforms
✔ Improved customer satisfaction while reducing operating costs through AI and automation

My leadership philosophy is simple: technology alone doesn't create exceptional customer experiences—great people, clear operating models, data-driven decisions, and strong cross-functional partnerships do.
I build organizations where Support, Engineering, Product, Sales, and Customer Success operate as one team with customer outcomes at the center. I'm passionate about developing leaders, fostering accountability, and building high-performing teams that embrace continuous improvement.
As AI reshapes customer support, I believe the future belongs to organizations that combine intelligent automation with exceptional human leadership.

If you're building the next generation of AI-enabled customer experiences, I'd love to connect.
