Single Digits CEO and leadership

I have led B-to-B software businesses (up to $1B in revenue) over the past 10 years with a focus on improving the performance of IT infrastructure, networks and applications to deliver a better end-user experience. I am known for driving both top- and bottom-line growth, and for bringing to bear a unique combination of strategic acumen, leadership abilities, and technical skills. The ability to quickly discern what is important and critical versus tangential is the foundation of my success as a progressive-thinking problem-solver. I thrive on driving transformational change and inspiring innovation to ensure emerging and existing companies are poised to realize sustainable, profitable growth.

As senior vice president and general manager with Riverbed Technology, I led the turnaround of an underperforming business unit, transforming double digit declines into double digit growth. I restructured the business as we took Riverbed private, overhauled the product portfolio, and executed strategic acquisitions to enhance the company’s competitive position. As a result of our success, I led and recently completed the creation of Aternity LLC, a carve-out from Riverbed. As Aternity’s chief technology officer, I integrated selected hyper-growth technologies into a single SaaS solution to help power triple digit growth.

Businesses require great agility to identify and take advantage of opportunities that emerge from changing business needs; I have a history of transforming businesses and enabling them to perform with both speed and agility. I am excited by taking calculated risks and have a strong track record partnering with stakeholders to build consensus in support of strategic decisions. Above all, I strive to create a team-centric culture in which everyone is focused on the success of the team. By fostering an environment of honest and open communication, I lead global teams to excellence.
