The person behind
the systems.

I show up, get things done, and help the people around me succeed. That's the whole philosophy.

01 My story

From IT intern to Director of Business Systems

I started as an IT intern at Xactly while studying Management Information Systems at San Jose State. Within two years I went from reimaging laptops and writing bash scripts to architecting Salesforce integrations and leading M&A data migrations. That trajectory set the tone for everything after.

I spent three years at OpenGov building cross-functional business systems, deploying Zuora Billing and CPQ, and creating end-to-end quote-to-cash processes across Sales, Finance, CS, and Professional Services. Then I joined Expel, a high-growth cybersecurity company, where I spent five years growing from Manager to Director of Business Systems and ended up leading a team of eight across every major business function.

Along the way I've been through an IPO, a PE acquisition by Vista Equity Partners, and multiple M&A integrations. I led the charge on enterprise AI adoption before most companies were even talking about it. I like defining clear processes where none exist, fixing the ones that drag, and finding ways to make operations genuinely run better.

02 The path

How I got here

Xactly

IT Intern to Systems Builder

Laptops and bash scripts to Salesforce integrations and M&A data migrations in two years, through the company's IPO and its PE acquisition by Vista Equity Partners. The fastest way up is to fix what nobody else wants to touch.

OpenGov · 3 years

Cross-functional Business Systems

Built end-to-end quote-to-cash across Sales, Finance, CS, and Professional Services. Deployed Zuora Billing and CPQ, and ran M&A data migrations into Salesforce. Learned how govtech buys software and how to design for it.

Expel · 5 years

Manager to Director of Business Systems

Grew from managing a small team to leading eight people supporting every business function at a high-growth cybersecurity company, with an early, governed rollout of enterprise AI before most companies were talking about it.

Building for clients, hands on

Running my own consulting practice: pipeline rebuilds, GTM stack standups, Salesforce cleanup and automations, AI-assisted outbound, and customer-facing analytics portals for B2B SaaS, govtech, and real estate tech companies. Plus helping teams adopt AI with governance that holds.

03 Expertise

What I specialize in

Business Systems Architecture

The full stack: Salesforce, Marketo, Workday, Intacct, Domo, Zendesk, and more. I build the integrations, automations, and data flows that connect every department into one unified operation.

AI-Powered Transformation

Early adopter and implementer of enterprise AI tools including Claude Code, Windsurf, and Cursor. I train technical and business teams and set up governance frameworks so AI adoption is responsible and actually sticks.

GTM Process Optimization

End-to-end go-to-market operations, from lead-to-cash workflows and CPQ implementations to pricing and packaging overhauls. Sales, marketing, and CS all working from one source of truth.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Building and leading teams that support every business function: Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, Legal, Product, and Engineering. High standards, real development, measurable outcomes.

04 Approach

How I work

Hands-on

I don't just advise. I write Apex, configure integrations, and architect solutions alongside the team, while building your team's capability in parallel. The goal is systems that run without me.

Process-first

I define clear processes where none exist and refine the ones that need work. Structured roadmaps and agile delivery turn chaos into systems that run themselves.

People-focused

What makes me happiest is watching others succeed. I develop resilient people, build teams that outperform expectations, and create places where good work happens.
