Experience

1. Data Center Solutions

   Siemens

   Jan 2019 — Present · Washington, DC, US

   The data center market is being rewritten in real time. AI load growth, utility constraints, supply-chain volatility, and tighter risk scrutiny are changing what “good” looks like. I work with leaders who don’t just want equipment. They want a partner who can make the plan real.I help teams scale AI-ready capacity with an outcomes first approach: faster schedules, fewer surprises, and infrastructure choices that stay flexible for the next wave of technology. I translate complexity into decisions clients can stand behind.My lane is end-to-end power and automation execution across complex stakeholder ecosystems (owners, EPCs, OEMs, operators), where contract terms, change control, lead times, and commissioning readiness decide who has the fastest time to token.I’m a big believer in open, interoperable architectures (no lock-in), resilience-by-design (including cybersecurity), and sustainability that’s measurable and operationally practical.
