Experience
Senior Vice President
Nov 2016 — Present · Sunnyvale, CA, US
At Plug and Play Tech Center, I designed and led AI-powered innovation programs for Fortune 500 companies, facilitating strategic partnerships between enterprises and cutting-edge AI/ML and generative AI. By leveraging my expertise in AI commercialization, cloud platforms, and enterprise adoption frameworks, I helped corporates integrate disruptive technologies into their digital transformation roadmaps—resulting in high renewal rates and multi-million-dollar commitments. With 10+ years in Venture Capital and startup ecosystems, I specialize in scaling AI startups through strategic GTM partnerships, investor matchmaking, and accelerator collaboration. My work spans AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, SaaS, and industry-specific AI solutions, enabling startups to secure pilots, co-selling opportunities, and enterprise deals with global tech leaders.
