About Me
Servant leader focused on empowering teams to build exceptional software.
Professional Summary
I am a strategic Director of Engineering with over two decades of experience navigating the complexities of software development, from hands-on coding to leading large-scale engineering organizations. My career has been defined by a commitment to servant leadership—removing obstacles, fostering collaboration, and empowering engineers to do their best work.
In 2025 I returned to OpenText to lead my prior organization, Communications, a product leader in the Customer Communications Management market.
Philosophy
I believe that great software is built by great teams. My management style focuses on establishing clear goals and constraints, then trusting engineers to find the best path forward. Psychological safety, continuous learning, and a bias toward action are the cornerstones of every team I build.
