About Me

I am an experienced CEO and go-to-market executive who has spent more than three decades helping technology companies grow, transform, and achieve successful outcomes. I began my career in enterprise technology sales in Silicon Valley before moving into general management and executive leadership across sales, product, engineering, marketing, operations, and company strategy.

Career Highlights

I held senior leadership roles at Zimbra through its acquisitions by Yahoo and VMware before becoming CEO of several technology companies, including Piston Cloud and SourceClear. Most recently, I served as CEO of 15Five, where I deepened my expertise in human-centered leadership and the connection between people strategy and business performance. Throughout my career, I have led company transformations, strengthened execution, and guided multiple businesses toward successful exits.

Techquity Solutions

I help CEOs and executive teams connect their business and technology strategies, identify gaps that may prevent successful execution, and prepare their organizations for growth and disruption. I bring a CEO’s perspective to technology decisions, with particular expertise in go-to-market strategy, organizational effectiveness, leadership development, transformation, and aligning people and operating models with business objectives.

Innovations & Impact

  • Led enterprise sales and go-to-market initiatives serving some of the world’s largest organizations.
  • Expanded from sales leadership into general management across product, engineering, marketing, operations, and strategy.
  • Held senior leadership roles at Zimbra through its acquisitions by Yahoo and VMware.
  • Led the transformation and successful exit of multiple software companies.
  • Helped organizations connect leadership development, employee performance, and people strategy to measurable business results.
  • Advised and invested in emerging companies, helping founders and CEOs build stronger, more scalable organizations.

Why Techquity?

I was drawn to Techquity’s ability to bring together accomplished technology leaders and make their collective judgment available to companies facing real-world challenges. As AI turns technology decisions into fundamental business strategy questions, Techquity gives CEOs access to the experience they need to navigate change, make better decisions, and turn technology into a meaningful source of business value.
