CTO/CPO, Transformation Leader & Executive Coach

CTO @ SmithRx, VP of Engineering @ Cruise, Headspace, CTO @ Heal, Microsoft.

I help hyper-growth startups and mid-market enterprises navigate the modern tech paradigm. By combining human-centered leadership with cutting-edge AI adoption and platform transformation, I help organizations build resilient technical operations, architect scalable software, and turn engineering teams into force multipliers.

Bridging Visionary Technology with Scalable Reality

In an era dominated by rapid technological evolution, standing still is falling behind. As an executive leader with over two decades of experience at tech giants and high-growth disruptors, I help companies evolve their structures, tools, and paradigms to win.

Most recently as CTO at SmithRx, I spearheaded technical strategies leveraging modern platform architectures and AI to redefine industry benchmarks. Whether it's integrating safe, impactful AI adoption pathways, leading complex digital transformations, or designing high-throughput engineering organizations, I bring clarity to strategic chaos and drive speed to market with comprehensive scaling across the 3Ps - PEOPLE, PROCESS and PRODUCT (Tech).

My philosophy anchors on two pillars: Intelligent Automation to drive exponential business value, and Human-First Leadership to build self-empowered, high-performing teams.
