I translate complexity
into multi-year roadmaps

I start with a business problem that happens to need a platform underneath it, which means locating the moat, naming what caps it, and choosing the adjacency the business has earned the right to take next. Architecture is a capital allocation decision written in code, and it outlives the strategy that funded it. Over two decades I have built the platforms large products run on and the organizations that run them: teams of 200 and up across multiple countries, P&L ownership above $20M, acquisitions absorbed, and cloud, data and AI transformations at Shutterfly, Apollo Education, Pearson and Wood Mackenzie. I set the direction and the architecture, hire and grow the leaders who own delivery, and go deep myself on the decisions that are expensive to reverse.
