About

Over two decades of driving large-scale product and engineering organizations—most recently as Chief Product & Technology Officer at TravelNet Solutions—have honed my ability to translate business goals into resilient, scalable, and cost-efficient SaaS, cloud, and AI platforms. I am confident that my blend of executive strategy, technical expertise, and private-equity M&A experience will be pertinent for your company. At TravelNet Solutions, I led a 60+ person global organization spanning Product, Engineering, DevOps, Cybersecurity, and IT. Within my first year I improved production uptime from 98 percent to 99.99 percent, integrated two prior acquisitions, and trimmed annual cloud spend by 18%—all while embedding GenAI tools into our product roadmap and Agentic AI solutions in the day-to-day Engineering operations. Previously, as CTO at BQE Software, I streamlined Agile delivery, introduced QA automation, and executed an AWS migration that reduced operating costs by $2 million per year and unlocked horizontal scalability for our flagship SaaS platform. My earlier tenure as CPTO at Compeat reinforced my track record of M&A consolidation and 5-9s service levels. I led the transition from on-premise hosting to an AWS-native architecture and accelerated release cadence from weekly to daily. Across these engagements I have repeatedly fostered high-trust, outcome-oriented cultures, built globally distributed teams (USA, India, Vietnam, China, Spain), and partnered with PE sponsors to conduct technical due-diligence and guide post-acquisition integration. I remain a hands-on technologist conversant in AI/ML, Agentic AI, GenAI, microservices, containerization, and DevSecOps best practices—tools I leverage to keep organizations at the forefront of innovation. I believe my background in scaling SaaS businesses, optimizing cloud operations, and unlocking new revenue streams through product innovation aligns well with your current priorities. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can collaborate on product roadmap and engineering execution.
