Leading data science, ML and software engineering teams at Salesforce focused on Sales, Service and Conversational automation. Joined Salesforce via the acquisition of MinHash, a data science startup I founded, focused on solving problems in entity extraction, topic classification, and trend detection on a enterprise platform that brings together machine learning, search and large scale data processing.
Prior to Minhash, I gained expertise building data products, services that employ distributed systems at their core, blending sophisticated science with scalable engineering.
I particularly enjoy incubating ideas, crafting them into scalable real-world products and leading teams from inception to execution, both at startups and within large organizations. Built and grew software development teams (of size 400+) in US, Europe and Asia. Helped set vision, develop strategy and build a culture of solve exciting problems while making measurable customer impact. Headed technical M&A due diligence, managed post-acquisition integrations to acquire teams, fill gaps in the product portfolio. Partner/Advisor to corporate venture teams.
