- Experienced in crafting long-term strategies and managing technical roadmaps that pave the way for future growth

- Successful running agile organizations at scale, with a sense of urgency to deliver quality software to solve customer problems

- Demonstrated experience in promoting positive culture and diversity throughout a large engineering organization to achieve transformational change
