I am a Salesforce technology leader with more than 19 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise solutions across Commerce Cloud, Experience Cloud, Revenue Cloud, Data Cloud, Agentforce, and the core Salesforce platform. In my current role as Vice President of the Salesforce COE Technology Group at Acxiom, I lead architecture strategy, governance, technical standards, and innovation across complex transformation programs. As a hands-on technical professional, I enjoy solving difficult architecture challenges, guiding delivery teams, and translating business goals into scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions. I partner closely with business leaders, clients, architects, and engineering teams to drive platform modernization, AI adoption, and measurable business outcomes. I am passionate about building strong architecture practices, mentoring technical talent, and advancing Salesforce capabilities through thought leadership, research, and continuous learning. My focus is always on combining deep technical expertise with practical execution to create solutions that deliver lasting value for global enterprises.
