Three decades leading enterprise technology, operations, and business transformation — most recently as Chief Operations Officer at Epiq Global. Independent board director. Focused on the intersection of AI, data platforms, and durable business growth.
My career has been shaped by a single question: how do you make large, complex enterprises actually move? Not the incremental improvements that show up in a quarterly report, but the durable, structural changes that reshape how a business competes.
At Nielsen, I spent eighteen years growing from an early operator into the Chief Information Officer role, where I was accountable for a $450M+ technology budget across sixty countries. I built the company's first cybersecurity organization, delivered $100M in savings while cutting infrastructure incidents in half, and led two dozen acquisition integrations spanning infrastructure, security, and enterprise platforms. That role taught me that the technology function only matters when it makes the business unmistakably faster and smarter — a lesson I've carried into every role since.
At Iron Mountain, as Chief Technology Officer, I developed the technology strategy for the company's digital products and delivered IRM Insight®, an AI/ML content services platform. I also stood up a global innovation practice for breakthrough concepts across content management, warehouse operations, and digitization — early proof that AI could be productized, not just deployed internally.
At Trellix, as CIO through the McAfee Enterprise and FireEye double carve-out, I completed one of the more complex Transition Service Agreement exits in recent memory. My team designed and built the Enterprise Data & AI Center of Excellence, delivered $28M in cloud cost optimization, consolidated thirteen global data centers with 50% cost savings in under twelve months, and moved 6,000 users from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace in four months.
Today, as Chief Operations Officer at Epiq Global, my remit expands beyond technology to include procurement, real estate, and enterprise operations. I'm leading the digital transformation across all corporate functions — with the AI COE and unified data platform as the strategic center — while maturing the cybersecurity program for the AI era and consolidating global infrastructure.
Across four companies and four different problem sets, the same pattern has emerged: the biggest business impact comes from unifying data across the enterprise, then deploying AI to act on that data with discipline. Not chatbots and demos — actual operating leverage. Automated cash application. Predictive spend management. Real-time insight into customer, product, and financial performance. The AI layer only compounds when the data foundation underneath it is real.
That pattern is what I bring to every conversation with PE managing partners, portfolio company CEOs, and boards: a repeatable approach to unlocking value in businesses that are ready to grow but held back by fragmentation.
I'm currently focused on three types of opportunities:
I hold an active U.S. Department of Defense Top Secret clearance (2024), serve as Treasurer of the Tampa Bay Tech Council, and previously served on the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council Board of Directors. I was part of the DHS Analytics Exchange Program in 2022 and the World Economic Forum's Global Future Leaders Council on Cybersecurity and Chief Digital Officers in 2021.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Tufts University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude and served as President of IEEE.
The technology function only matters when it makes the business unmistakably faster and smarter. Everything else is theater.
