At Cobli he’s driven multi-million ARR growth, 200x+ deployment frequency improvements, major SLA reductions and an API-first upmarket shift that integrated 90%+ of key accounts.

He mentors CTOs and invests in startups that pair strong business execution with technology, and quietly balances technical obsession with a love for good conversations—and beer.
