Head of Data Agility, Global AI Accelerator at Ericsson

As a technology generalist, I have designed, implemented, and operated highly-available production software and hardware systems for over 20 years. As a leader, I have built and managed teams that have created the fastest supercomputers on Earth and ensured site reliability during rapid customer growth in advance of a successful IPO. In the U.S. government, higher education, startups, and large companies, I have consistently seen that organizations only reach peak performance when they build strong cultural values and focus on their people. As a part of Ericsson's Global AI Accelerator, I lead a team called Photon whose mission is to help Ericsson become a better place for data workers.
