About
Detail
Co-founder and Head of Product
Burlingame, California, United States
As the culmination of my experience working in enterprise software organizations large and small, from being the 1st employee to the 40,000th employee, I have co-founded Pipe17 with former colleagues to bring a modern and simple integration experience between the worlds of e-commerce and logistics, fulfillment and transportation.
At Workato, I leveraged my deep experience in integration, pre-sales. professional services and training to help enterprise and mid-market customers evaluate and realize the value of Workato, as a modern, cloud-native, serverless and easy to use integration platform. For example, I led the evaluation, selection and implementation project for Logitech, where in 9 weeks we gathered requirements, implemented and deployed live 80 integrations running 1M transactions/day (starting with the first day) supporting 8M customers at the front end and a 1B record inventory and product registration database at the back end, exposing 20 API endpoints and connecting to a wide variety of systems, internal and external.
Prior to Workato, I founded Middleworks, providing IT strategy, consulting, solution architecture, SOA training and assessments to Enterprise IT organizations around their use of middleware and Integration. Middleworks leveraged my deep knowledge of the partners in the Integration implementation community to help customers find the best targeted Integration expertise.
Before Middleworks, I was acquired into Oracle through the 2004 acquisition of Collaxa, a small start-up with a leading business process management engine (originally called the BPEL Process Manager). Responsibilities at Oracle grew steadily - ending with responsibility for product management for all of Oracle's SOA, BPM and Governance products including Oracle SOA Suite, Service Bus, Enterprise Repository, BPM Suite, BPEL Process Manager, BAM, Adapters, B2B, Business Rules, ESB and a user adoption and training tool called UPK (User Productivity Kit). Together, these totaled > $500M/yr in software revenue and more than $1B/yr, including support and services.
Prior experience with a wide variety of developer and middleware technologies, at leading technology companies small and large, including NeXT and Apple. Strengths include strong communication skills and deep technical foundation as well as experience managing technical and product management teams.
