For over 20 years, I have focused on business enablement through technology. I currently work as a Staff Solutions Architect focused on technical guidance for enterprise clients specifically as it relates to the utilization of VMware Cloud on AWS in their cloud adoption journey. Working in a leadership role, I emphasize the importance of mentoring members of cross-functional teams and contributing positively to revenue attainment. In the past, I have held roles as a Principal Consultant, Senior Solutions Architect, software developer, SharePoint V-TSP, Business/Process Analyst, and a Senior Consultant focused on strategic planning at all levels with clients ranging from SMB to Enterprise. The roles have changed, but the focus remains the same: Enabling businesses to align their technology strategy to business goals.
At VMware, I am a Staff Clous Solutions Architect, VMware Cloud on AWS where I focus on achieving business solutions through the use of technology, specifically related to cloud utilization.
