I have helped startups and other companies grow revenues, improve operational efficiency, and expand their markets for over 16 years, including Scrum Product Owner and Scrum Master experience for 8 years. As a visionary and influential leader, I excel at collaborating and partnering with cross-functional teams at all levels. I have made a difference in delivering world-class service to our clients by influencing company policies, hiring, and training. I have achieved continuous revenue improvements through my ability to align people, operations, and technology. A self-driven and dependable individual, I have been recognized for my exemplary work ethic and client-focused service. 

Besides work, I enjoy my favorite activities: Kyokushin Karate 3 times a week (I have been competing since February 2021), going to parks and having picnics with my wife, son, and Miniature Dachshund. Being an avid traveler who loves adventure and exploration, I have mastered the “art of getting lost,” – which many have discovered can boost a person’s awareness of the world, making them more creative and agile problem solvers.
