About Me

I shipped my first machine learning product in 2013: a model that told HP's sales reps which accounts would actually renew. $12M a year within two years. I've been building AI since before there was a title for it.

Now VP of AI Products at Constant Contact, working on AI for the millions of small businesses that don't have a marketing team and shouldn't need one.

Before that, at HP, I took TechPulse from 100K seats to 50M devices at 80% lower cost per seat. That data layer let us seed ActiveCare, fixing machines before they broke instead of selling warranties for after ($3M → $168M). And that services model became the Workforce Experience Platform: PRFAQ to GA in 8 months, $47M ARR in 24, Gartner MQ Visionary.

Then as Global Head of AI Products, I argued intelligence belongs on the device, not in someone else's cloud. Proved it with an agentic assistant running fully local. It became HP's AI North Star.

I'm still a builder. Nights and weekends, I've designed, shipped, and scaled multiple apps solo, culminating in a six-figure exit for Starlight in 2025.
