CEO at Demandwell, WE'RE HIRING!
My philosophy for life and for marketing are the same. Do the right things right. In business, I have applied this to organic lead generation in both B2B & B2C markets for customers of all shapes and sizes, including multiple Fortune 100 companies. Outside of my work, I’m a Christ follower, husband, and dad of 2 boys. I love boating, cycling, and SCUBA diving.
I don’t believe in strangers. If we don't know each other, I’d love to meet you!

VP, Migrations, ISVs, & Marketplace @ Google Cloud, Author, "Ahead in the Cloud"
I love to build things and cause change. I'm currently responsible for helping customers transform with earth's most open & innovative software ecosystem and the P&L owner of the Google Cloud Marketplace.
I spent the nearly 8 years prior in a variety of roles at AWS, most recently as VP, AWS Marketplace, with full multi-$B P&L ownership and oversight of product, engineering, channel, and field sales teams.
I began my career as a software engineer. Since then, I've invented, built, and sold dozens of products & services in financial services, media, sports, and tech. I led a large-scale cultural transformation bringing a DevOps and cloud-first approach to Dow Jones as their CIO, and have since helped hundreds of companies envision and achieve similar aspirations at AWS and now Google Cloud. Most of what I’ve learned can be found in my book: "Ahead in the Cloud: Best Practices for Navigating the Future of Enterprise IT". https://amzn.to/ahead-in-the-cloud.
