GPT-2 flipped a switch for me in 2019. What started as a data journalism project analyzing presidential speeches became a long-term focus on how AI reshapes the way teams work.

Since then, I’ve built and led AI-native GTM teams through hypergrowth by building the system behind the story across startup, enterprise, and agency environments. I’ve positioned companies for the AI era by rebuilding portfolio narrative and operating cadence, then turning strategy into a cross-functional GTM engine that ships launches, campaigns, and enablement with clear KPIs.

Today, as Head of Product Marketing, AI & Data at Striim, I’m focused on establishing the platform as the leader in real-time data streaming and enterprise AI. I care about craft, but I care more about people, and I bring that into how I lead: clear strategy, tight collaboration, value-led culture, and high standards without the ego.

AI is the operating system of modern marketing. My goal is to lead teams that are as scalable and innovative as the technologies they bring to market.

Outside of work, I’m usually shooting black-and-white photography, playing guitar, or writing literary fiction.
