Over 25 years at IBM, I have led some of the most complex GTM, product, and operations mandates in enterprise software.

More

I have built things from scratch that didn't exist before: IBM India's first Hardware System Test Lab, the first Channel program for Cloud Pak System across AP and NA, and the first Worldwide Customer Support function managed out of India. These weren't incremental improvements — they were greenfield builds that became institutional capabilities. My career spans the full technology leadership spectrum. I started as a systems engineer — writing BIOS firmware, developing AIX device drivers, architecting distributed systems — which gives me a level of technical credibility that most GTM leaders simply don't have. That foundation informed everything that came after: leading a 650-person server management organization across 15 global accounts, turning troubled accounts green, and eventually moving into product and GTM strategy for IBM's most strategic cloud and AI portfolios. Today I lead GTM for IBM's Core Data Products portfolio, having previously driven go-to-market strategy for IBM Turbonomic and spearheaded IBM's global AIOps & Management Community — growing engagement and advocacy at a scale few community programs achieve. I work at the intersection of product strategy, sales enablement, partner ecosystems, and competitive positioning — translating complex enterprise technology into pipeline, revenue, and market traction. What sets me apart is the combination: deep technical origin, large-scale people leadership, and a commercial GTM lens. I have operated in every layer of the enterprise technology stack — from chip-level firmware to hybrid cloud orchestration — and I have led teams and programs on every continent. I am now looking to bring this experience to bear in a VP or C-suite GTM, Product, or Strategy role — ideally at a company where AI, cloud, or observability is core to the growth thesis, and where building something that doesn't yet exist at scale is the mandate. If you are building a GTM function, scaling a cloud or AI product portfolio, or looking for an executive who combines technical depth with commercial horsepower — let's talk.
