I build and scale AI-driven businesses that create real impact. My career has focused on AI infrastructure, go-to-market execution, and hyperscaling AI ventures in both enterprise and startup environments.
As the author of The Inside-Out Entrepreneur, I guide founders to develop the mental resilience needed to navigate high-growth ventures. Having founded, scaled, and exited AI-driven businesses, I understand the intersection of technology, business strategy, and execution.
Currently, I lead AI cloud infrastructure initiatives at Intel, where I help Fortune 1000 enterprises deploy, monetize, and scale AI solutions. My experience at Intel, Amazon, and Microsoft has provided me with in-depth expertise in AI infrastructure, go-to-market (GTM) execution, and driving revenue through AI-led transformation.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
In addition to my corporate leadership, I support entrepreneurs through the Boundless Founder community, helping them develop the mental conditioning and strategic clarity necessary to scale their businesses successfully.
By combining my experience in enterprise technology leadership from Intel, Amazon, and Microsoft with deep insights into entrepreneurial psychology, I offer a unique perspective on building sustainable success in the startup world. My mission is to turn AI innovation into business impact while building resilient businesses and resilient leaders.
