Partner. Builder.
Ecosystem Native.

I joined Onix as employee #11 in 2003 — Google's first enterprise partner. Over 20 years, I navigated every layer of the ecosystem: Sales Engineer, Chrome Practice Lead, Director of Strategic Alliances. I've been in every seat at the table.

That 360-degree foundation means when I sit down with a Google PDM, an FSM, or a vendor's alliance team, I'm not managing a relationship — I'm speaking their language with the authority of someone who has lived the motion from both sides.

In 2025, at the Google Workspace Partner Summit in NYC, I was formally recognized in the keynote as the "archetypical" Google partner. I wear that recognition as a standard, not a title.

I'm driven by freudenfreude — the genuine joy of seeing others succeed. In partner ecosystems, I only win when my partners and customers win. That's not a philosophy I adopted; it's how I'm wired.

Let's talk.

I'm exploring principal and VP-level roles in cloud alliances, channel strategy, and strategic partnerships — on the vendor side, the partner side, or inside Google. If you're building something in the Google ecosystem, I'd like to hear about it.
