Strategy · Sales leadership · Partnerships
VP, Alliances and Telco at Acronis.
I work on how software platforms grow: the product, the sales organization and the partnerships that bring them into new markets. My background is in software and internet infrastructure, and I continue to build products with AI.
Explore selected workOver six years, my responsibilities expanded from business development around ConnectWise to the Cyber Platform, strategy, sales leadership and the independent software vendor business.
I’ve led sales teams and worked on recruiting and growing large service providers, alongside developing the technology relationships that extend Acronis’s reach. The work takes responsibility for the business around a partnership: how we sell through it, grow accounts and turn commitments into paid consumption.
Acronis brings cybersecurity, data protection, backup and disaster recovery together for managed service providers. My current remit combines Alliances and Telco, building on that experience to develop routes to market and grow the partner business.
Platform relationships · Acronis
I joined Acronis with responsibility for business development around ConnectWise. The relationship brought commercial and technical teams together around integrations, joint selling and service provider adoption.
It is part of the broader work of making Acronis useful within the platforms and workflows MSPs already use.
Acronis on its ConnectWise integrationsCommercial model · Acronis
In 2025, I established independent software vendors (ISVs) as a revenue category. This brought software vendor recruitment and account growth into a commercial model with sales resources and revenue expectations.
The operating questions include how quickly signed commitments become consumption, which relationships produce lasting revenue, and where to invest the team’s time.
Global account strategy · Acronis
My OEM work includes global account strategy for Emerson, connecting commercial planning with product validation and regional execution. The opportunity is to make backup and security part of the industrial platform a customer already relies on.
This work draws on both sides of my background: understanding the technology and developing the business relationship around it.
Acronis on its industrial OEM partnershipsAcquisition and integration · GoDaddy
At GoDaddy, I led the acquisition and integration of Media Temple. That work helped GoDaddy expand into the web professional market and connected the transaction with the product, engineering and business responsibilities that followed it.
It built on my earlier work creating GoDaddy’s business development function and working directly with the CEO on company strategy.
I still like getting into the work itself.
I use AI for research, product development, implementation and review. My projects explore practical questions about connecting systems, choosing models, controlling costs and checking the results. They keep me close to the engineering and operating decisions behind a software business.
Coding assistants · Infrastructure
Tools for working with AI coding assistants and connecting them to infrastructure. The project brings together model routing, a command-line interface, MCP connectors, cost tracking and evaluation tooling.
The work includes approval workflows and audit reporting: giving an assistant useful access while keeping its actions understandable and controllable.

Brainstorm Security Stack is an open experiment in building security software with AI agents. The work includes cloud resource scanning, policy evaluation, authentication, architecture documents and code reviews.
The development process is part of the project: what agents produce, where they fail and how review and testing change the result.

The Brainstorm Design System provides shared typography, color, spacing, motion and interface states for related products. It gives the projects a common foundation as they develop.
Explore the design systemMy career began in infrastructure and software development. That background informs how I evaluate platforms and the commercial relationships around them.
At GoDaddy, I moved into product and business leadership, built a seven-person business development team and worked with the CEO on strategy. Subsequent roles at Envato and Namecheap added experience in corporate development, pricing and channel ownership.
I’m a named co-inventor on nine US patent grants covering DNS, certificate workflows, domain registration and related systems. My education includes an MBA from Arizona State University and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Arizona.
