15+ years as a hands-on product and technical operator, turning ideas into shipped product, helping businesses and teams scale. As work, product, and tech become AI native, let's capture this moment together.
Experience spans edtech, consumer marketplaces, automotive, restaurant tech, distribution & logistics, and live events — most of it bringing native technology and AI into legacy, entrenched industries. What carries across all of them: aligning people around strategy, keeping them focused on outcomes, and building the operational discipline to keep delivering as things change — that's where I excel.
A product and technology executive with 15+ years building the operating machine inside commerce and transaction businesses — starting as a 0-to-1 product builder in edtech before moving through consumer marketplaces, network software, and restaurant tech. Most recently Chief Operating Officer at Victory Live (live events & ticketing), and before that Chief Product & Innovation Officer at Cars Commerce, leading product, design, research, and engineering across Cars.com, Dealer Inspire, DealerRater, and CreditIQ. Earlier, he ran global commercial technology as VP & GM at Sysco LABS, leading product for a $35B B2B business serving 250,000 customers. He holds an M.S. in Technology Commercialization from UT Austin's McCombs School of Business.
Most of this work is A/B stage — product/market fit is there, but the product offering or go-to-market motion still needs to become repeatable and scalable.
