I solve problems by using my design sense, engineering skills, proven product practices, and a keen understanding of business needs and impact.
I specialize in leveraging emerging technologies to drive business innovation. I’ve built and led teams to develop cutting-edge retail technologies, including AI and XR, during my time with Sam’s Club’s Innovation Foresight R&D. With a track record of creating patented solutions and strategic partnerships, I thrive at the intersection of technology, design, and business. I’m passionate about solving complex problems and navigating disruptive technologies to help companies develop future-proof strategies and solutions that meet evolving business needs.
Leading Sam's Club's Innovation Foresight R&D, my mission is to scout and operationalize emerging technologies for retail's future. My journey began with the inception of an innovation team, now twelve-strong, dedicated to enhancing product and engineering synergies. This initiative has flourished, contributing to transformative partnerships and quarterly strategic discussions with our C-suite leaders.
