As a seasoned executive experienced in driving growth, revenue optimization, and building high-performance teams, my expertise centers on scaling SaaS companies and navigating complex market landscapes. Currently, I serve as Chief Operating Officer (COO) at First Resonance https://www.firstresonance.io/, a Los Angeles-based innovator providing AI-driven MES software and digital manufacturing platforms. Our groundbreaking ION platform delivers real-time manufacturing analytics, powering operational efficiency improvements of approximately 30%. ION enhances product traceability, quality management, and regulatory compliance, specifically addressing critical needs in aerospace, automotive, defense, robotics, and other complex manufacturing sectors.

Previously, as President of Clubspeed, a global SaaS CRM and ERP provider, I strategically guided global expansion, achieving significant ARR growth through innovative FinTech solutions tailored to the entertainment industry. At Perfecta, a cybersecurity and AI SaaS provider, I substantially increased ARR by serving diverse governmental and enterprise clients, optimizing market strategies, and enhancing customer lifecycle management.

With extensive international leadership experience, including my tenure as Managing Director and CEO of Avaya Asia South Pacific, I successfully scaled advanced communication solutions and professional services across Southeast Asia, significantly improving profitability. Additionally, as a management consultant at VGE, my focus included business process re-engineering, mergers & acquisitions, and operational transformations that directly led to measurable client successes.

Passionate about leveraging innovative technology, Industry 4.0 solutions, and predictive analytics, I focus on driving market expansion, optimizing revenues, and accelerating operational performance. I'm eager to collaborate with forward-thinking SaaS organizations committed to strategic growth, digital transformation, and operational excellence in complex manufacturing and technology industries.
