I’m a product and engineering leader with a passion for building large scale, fast growing software platforms and growing high performing teams. As SVP of Product Management at Celonis, and we build a platform that helps enterprises become more agile and efficient by understanding and optimize their processes through data-driven insights and automation tools.

Before joining Celonis, I spent seven years at Twilio, where I played a key role in scaling the core platform and expanding the product to international markets. During my tenure, Twilio grew from around 300 employees to over 8,000, and we successfully took the company public.

Earlier in my career, I founded two startups: Convivial, an IoT platform for consumer engagement, and Escape Velocity, a software engineering firm specializing in motion control and distributed systems. Before moving into product management I held roles as an architect and engineering leader where I also gained deep technical expertise building platforms for IoT, self-service networks, and distributed systems.

Outside of work, I’m a proud father of two and a certified Private Pilot. I fly a Grumman Tiger as often as I can. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said, “I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things” and this sentiment resonates with me strongly.

I also love sharing my experience to help others grow and I’ve recently started offering mentorships.
