Over the past decade at Cisco, Akamai, and NetApp, I have built enterprise security and infrastructure products and carried them from strategy through to scale. That work has run across a two billion dollar data platform and a six hundred million dollar product line, and in each case I owned the roadmap, the pricing, and the P&L that sat behind the product rather than only the features on top of it.

Security is the thread running through all of it. My background spans zero trust, threat intelligence, DNS and web security, and endpoint protection, held together by the CISSP and the CCSK.

 

What I care about most is grounding a product decision in what customers actually need rather than what is loudest in the room, and then moving the people who have to deliver it, the engineers, the field, the sales teams, often across APAC and EMEA where I have been the platform expert for my products.

I am also a builder in the literal sense. I use AI across the whole of my product work, from drafting requirements to running analysis, and I have taken products of my own from an idea to something live, a web platform and an Android app among them. Building with my own hands keeps me honest about the distance between what is easy to ask for and what is genuinely hard to ship.
