I’m a sales and business development leader with 20+ years of experience driving growth at the intersection of aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, and emerging technologies. My background spans startup operations, enterprise sales, and product commercialization, giving me a unique ability to bridge the gap between innovation and market adoption.
I’ve built and scaled sales teams, SDR functions, and account management organizations, while also thriving as an individual contributor responsible for securing multimillion-dollar accounts. My work has taken me across North and South America as well as APAC, partnering with Fortune 500 primes, government agencies, and global OEMs.
On the technical side, I started my career in physics-based simulation for stamping, welding, and hydroforming, supporting projects from early design through implementation on the shop floor. More recently, I’ve worked in XR, IoT, and AI-driven solutions, helping customers connect emerging technologies to real-world outcomes.
I also serve on the Advisory Board at Southern Methodist University’s Center for Digital Human-Augmented Manufacturing (CDHAM), where I contribute to projects that merge XR, AI, and IoT to address manufacturing challenges. My work in this area was featured in the Colorado Sun through aerospace workforce development initiatives with the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment and Sierra Space.
At my core, I bring together technical credibility, startup agility, and enterprise sales expertise with a track record of building pipelines from scratch, winning new markets, and helping organizations commercialize advanced technologies in competitive industries.More...
