Portfolio

Enterprise platform leadership, proven across scale, migration, and AI governance.

Across 8x8, Jive, and Rivaro, the work is the same: take complex enterprise systems under scale pressure, turn them into governed platforms, and make them safe enough for customers, executives, and teams to trust.

8x8UCaaS / CCaaS · 3.5M+ users

Launching new product lines — and modernizing the platform beneath them — through high-growth scale

Senior Director / Director, Product Management · 2019–2024 · global team of 60+ (10 PMs, 50+ engineers)

Context

A global contact-center and unified-communications platform growing from $300M to $700M+ ARR, with the $250M Fuze acquisition to absorb and 35K enterprise customers running on aging infrastructure.

What I owned

The full application portfolio and platform services — new product introduction, roadmap, migration strategy, enterprise readiness, and the cross-functional operating rhythm across PM, engineering, design, GTM, and customer teams.

What was hard

Shipping a steady stream of new products into a live enterprise platform while integrating a $100M ARR acquisition and moving tens of thousands of customers — all without losing continuity, and all while the business was still accelerating.

How I led it

Tripling daily active application users through product-led growth: a continuous cadence of new product introduction, modernized onboarding (NPS +20%, onboarding time −50%), and enterprise-grade trust controls — backed by a staged, readiness-based migration.

New products & product lines I introduced

  • CX Engage — a new customer-engagement product line unifying contact-center capability into the communications platform; helped retain $67M ARR post-acquisition. Ships today as 8x8 Engage.
  • AI Sales Workspace — real-time seller guidance drawn from CRM and live interaction data.
  • ML SMS spam-prevention — a machine-learning system protecting message deliverability and trust.
  • Group SMS engagement — a new messaging capability that lifted average deal size 25%.
  • Admin Mobile — 0→1 mobile admin app; 50% adoption in 3 months.
  • Frontdesk — 0→1 mobile receptionist app; 25% adoption in 6 months.
Still shipping today — and thriving: the CX Engage line I created unified contact-center and communications onto one platform — the foundation its AI now runs on. It ships today as 8x8 Engage, which 8x8 called “one of the fastest-growing products in our history,” among four new products that together delivered triple-digit year-over-year revenue growth (Q3 FY2026 earnings call).

The migration — which shipped new capability, not just a lift-and-shift

The 35K-customer, $300M ARR platform migration ran with zero customer disruption via a staged pre-flip, validation, and readiness-based cutover. It also delivered net-new enterprise-readiness capability — SSO, RBAC, provisioning, and SMS-trust controls — hardened to 99.999% availability.

What this proves today: I can create new products and hold platform, migration, and enterprise-readiness risk together at scale — without dropping customer continuity.

Jive SoftwareCollaboration · Series B → IPO

Product and platform evolution in a scaling enterprise collaboration business

Director of Product Management & Engineering · 2009–2017 · flagship product, ~75% of revenue, 25%+ of the Fortune 500

Context

Jive grew from $40M to $225M ARR from Series B through IPO. I owned Jive-n, the flagship employee-collaboration product, through that scale — and earlier led the engineering team building its core.

What I owned

Product strategy and roadmap for the revenue-defining product, plus the cloud-migration path for hosted and on-prem customers and the engagement model that drove adoption.

What was hard

Modernizing a mature product under enterprise scrutiny, moving customers to cloud without breaking trust, and proving engagement value with data rather than opinion.

How I led it

A run of new product capability plus usability-driven modernization of core UX — proving engagement value with data, and moving customers to cloud without breaking trust.

New products & capabilities I introduced

  • NLP recommendation engine — content and connection recommendations that deepened activity across the network.
  • Activity news stream — a core engagement surface for the collaboration product.
  • AI spam & moderation — an ML-based system for spam identification and content moderation.
  • Engagement benchmark indexes — SMB and enterprise indexes to measure and drive engagement.
  • Executive engagement & structured outcomes — features built as engineering leader on the core product.
  • UX modernization — profiles and editor rebuilt from usability data; +20% product usage, 60%+ faster load.

Alongside the new capability, I defined and executed the roadmap migrating hosted and on-prem customers to the cloud — modernization without losing enterprise trust.

RivaroAI governance · 0→1 · Founder & CEO

Building a runtime governance platform for enterprise AI agents

Founder & CEO · 2025–present · hands-on product builder across discovery, architecture, and buyer validation

Context

Enterprises are deploying agents and LLM applications with real authority faster than they can govern them. I founded Rivaro to explore the control layer that sits before execution.

What I owned

Everything: product vision, positioning, core architecture, roadmap, prototype development, demo flows, and enterprise buyer validation with security, AI, and engineering leaders.

What was hard

Defining a new category at the intersection of product, platform, and security — and validating enterprise urgency before scaling the build.

What I built

Capabilities across LLM traffic inspection, agent-action monitoring, identity-aware policy enforcement, and audit-evidence generation — plus the narrative and sales-facing materials for CISOs and platform teams.

Where I have the most impact

The problems I'm best at.

AI moving faster than its controls

Agents and LLM apps gaining authority before there's a model for policy, permissioning, and runtime control.

Platform modernization under pressure

A product straining under enterprise growth, where modernization has to happen without losing customers or revenue.

Migration where disruption is unacceptable

Moving customers to new infrastructure when zero downtime isn't a goal — it's a requirement.

Strategy that connects the whole picture

Product direction that ties architecture, buyer trust, and cross-functional execution together — not just one of them.

Let's connect
