I am a seasoned technology executive with 18+ years of experience building and leading high-performing global cross-functional teams and projects. I currently work as the Compute Solutions Architecture Leader at Amazon Web Services (AWS) where I coach, grow, and partner with technically skilled, customer-facing Solutions Architects (SAs), with an emphasis on the AWS Compute portfolio of services. As a trusted customer advocate, I help customers understand best practices around cloud compute solutions, and how to run their workloads in a scalable yet cost-effective manner on AWS. I have hands-on experience architecting complex high-volume mission critical systems, both on-premises and in the cloud, in alignment with business goals, and build effective relationships with key stakeholders.
