I am driven by tackling the most intriguing challenges in product development. With a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and over 14 years in managing technical programs, I bring expertise across diverse domains.
Beginning my career in materials science research, I discovered my passion for innovative tech products during my tenure as a failure analysis engineer. I pivoted to a consulting role for Big Tech clients, where I directed global-scale data programs critical to developing some of the leading AI technologies on the market today. Later, at Cruise, I worked to solve complex AI and operational challenges in commercializing autonomous vehicle technology. Currently, I am a managing director at Soqono where I work with leading technology companies to design and execute custom AI training data collection programs.
My approach to leadership and management focuses on maximizing impact. I believe that proactive leadership and decision-making frameworks empower teams to drive innovation and focus on their most significant value adds. By aligning efforts with clear objectives, I ensure that every initiative delivers meaningful results and advances the organization's success.
