Technical CEO & Turnaround Architect | Scaling AI, FinTech & Enterprise SaaS Ventures

About Me

I am a Technical Executive and "Builder-Operator" with over 23 years of experience bridging the gap between visionary technology and rigorous business execution. My career spans roles as CEO, Founder, and Turnaround Architect across high-stakes industries, including Decentralized Finance (Web3), Generative AI, and Enterprise SaaS. I specialize in navigating critical inflection points: taking ventures from zero-to-one, turning around distressed business units to profitability, and scaling global operations for exit. My track record includes leading the acquisition of Empressem Technologies by Netrix, LLC, orchestrating a 30% revenue turnaround at Fortelogic, and architecting multi-agent AI systems for healthcare compliance. I don’t just set strategy; I build the operational engines, financial controls, and technical frameworks required to make that strategy a reality. I partner with boards and founders to bring clarity, velocity, and resilience to complex organizations.
