Chief Executive Officer
Los Angeles, California, United States
When a medicine reaches a patient, when a product clears safety review, when a batch gets released to market — somewhere in that chain, a lab's data and process had to be trusted completely. I'm proud to lead STARLIMS, the infrastructure software that has made that trust possible for more than 40 years.That work sits squarely in what I've spent the past decade doing — leading PE-backed SaaS businesses at moments of inflection. Scaling beyond early growth, integrating acquisitions, succeeding founders, restoring momentum. I build durable businesses that customers trust, employees are proud of, and investors back with conviction. Highlights- ELT member and P&L owner within a multi-hundred-million-dollar ARR enterprise platform (joined sub-$100M), shaping value creation strategy, scaling emerging businesses, and leading M&A.- Scaled Test IO from ~$2M to $40M ARR; subsequently led a larger, multi-product portfolio at Redwood.- Led three founder transitions — rebuilding teams and operating models while accelerating growth, expanding margins, and protecting enterprise customer trust.- Executive leader in $2B+ of private equity recapitalizations and strategic exits (2x), aligning sponsors, advisors, and management teams from preparation through close.
