- Applying lessons from global market expansion to ensure Copado’s solutions are adaptable and effective worldwide.
Prior to Copado, I held key positions at Salesforce that showcased my ability to scale services businesses and drive global expansion:
- Vice President of Success Cloud: Focused on expanding Salesforce’s services presence in emerging markets, particularly in APAC and Japan. This role allowed me to combine my expertise in scaling services businesses with strategic market development.

My journey through the tech landscape has been marked by a blend of technical expertise, strategic leadership, and international business development. This unique combination has allowed me to drive transformative change and elevate tech enterprises across global markets.
As a startup advisor, I share my expertise in scaling tech enterprises and navigating the challenges of rapid growth in the global market. My advisory work focuses on helping emerging tech companies build robust, scalable solutions while fostering innovative cultures.
I’m passionate about championing innovation and leadership in the tech industry. Whether discussing the latest trends in Salesforce development, exploring innovative DevOps strategies, or examining the challenges of tech adoption in emerging markets, I’m always eager to engage with fellow tech enthusiasts and leaders.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I find inspiration and balance in quality time with my family, cooking, and the Chicago Bears (bear down!). This holistic approach to life enriches my perspective, fueling creativity and driving innovation in all aspects of my career.
