In addition to my executive roles, I’m deeply involved in mentoring emerging technical talent, guiding them towards success in the dynamic world of technology architecture. Through my work at the Chief Architect Forum and as an advisor and angel investor in multiple startups, I’m passionate about shaping the future of technology and nurturing, evolving the next generation of leaders.
