About
My passion is for creating innovative software products that solve complex real-world problems, particularly in the area of cybersecurity. In the earlier part of my career, this involved writing code and architecting products. Starting in 2007, my focus shifted from the nuts and bolts of software development to building product business lines through roles in product management, marketing, and strategy.
I especially enjoy interacting with customers and partners, applying emerging technologies to solve business problems, building and leading teams to bring state-of-the-art solutions to market, and growing product revenue at an eye-popping rate.
