AI Product / Enterprise Technology / GTM

Enterprise leader turned AI product builder.

I bring 20+ years of enterprise customer, revenue, and leadership experience together with hands-on AI product development — translating complex business problems into products people can actually use.

About

Business experience meets product execution.

My career has been built around understanding complex enterprise problems — working with customers, leading teams, growing revenue, navigating operational challenges, and translating business needs into action.

More recently, I've taken that experience directly into AI product development by founding and building Staxaxis, an enterprise AI product designed to identify and quantify value loss across disconnected business systems.

That combination gives me a perspective that sits between customer, product, technology, and go-to-market.

Customer

Deep enterprise customer and executive experience.

Product

From problem discovery and requirements through production and iteration.

AI + Technology

Hands-on experience building AI-enabled enterprise workflows and technical product infrastructure.

GTM

Pricing, positioning, customer discovery, partnerships, sales, and market validation.

Featured Product

I didn't just study AI product development. I built one.

Staxaxis is an enterprise AI product designed to identify, quantify, and validate revenue leakage and operational value loss hiding between disconnected business systems.

Case Study

From business problem to production AI product.

  1. 01

    The Problem

    Critical business information lives across disconnected systems. CRM may know what was sold, ERP knows what was billed, support knows what went wrong, and finance knows what was collected — but individual systems rarely understand the full relationship.

  2. 02

    The Hypothesis

    What if those systems could be analyzed together to identify value leakage and operational problems that no individual application could see?

  3. 03

    The Product

    Staxaxis was built to correlate information across enterprise systems and produce evidence-backed findings with defensible business impact.

  4. 04

    The Hard Parts

    • AI grounding

  5. 05

    Taking It to Market

    Moved beyond product development into customer discovery, design-partner outreach, competitive analysis, pricing experiments, positioning, investor conversations, and go-to-market testing.

What I owned

Building Staxaxis required operating across product, customer, business, and technical decisions rather than treating them as separate disciplines.

Other Products I've Built

Staxaxis is the deepest example of my product work, but it is not the only product I've taken from idea to implementation. These projects reflect how I use product development to test hypotheses, solve practical problems, and learn quickly.

Product Evolution

OverstaxUnderstaxAdaptastaxStaxaxis

Earlier product concepts and focused experiments that helped shape the direction of Staxaxis. These concepts explored different angles of identifying hidden business inefficiencies, value loss, and operational issues. The strongest ideas were progressively consolidated into the broader Staxaxis product.

I build to learn.

Product development is how I test ideas. Rather than stopping at strategy, I build working products, put them in front of users, evaluate what resonates, and refine the direction based on evidence.

That process has helped me develop a practical understanding of product discovery, AI-assisted development, UX, market validation, positioning, and go-to-market.

How I Work

Where I create the most value.

1

Discover

Start with the business problem rather than the technology.

2

Translate

Turn customer and business complexity into clear product requirements.

3

Build

Use modern AI and product-development workflows to move rapidly from hypothesis to working product.

4

Validate

Put the product in front of the market, measure what happens, and iterate based on evidence.

I work best at the intersection of customers, product, technology, and go-to-market — particularly when the problem is ambiguous and the path forward has to be discovered.

Resume

Experience beyond the highlights.

My background spans enterprise technology, strategic accounts, business development, revenue leadership, team management, and hands-on AI product development.
