I am a revenue executive with experience building and operating global SaaS revenue organizations in regulated, high-consequence markets—where forecast accuracy, GTM discipline, and pricing integrity directly impact valuation, board confidence, and exit outcomes.

I have led and governed revenue systems through PE ownership, recapitalization, and scale, including contributing to Exiger’s $1.2B transaction with Carlyle Group and Insight Partners, where forecast integrity and GTM rigor were non-negotiable.

My work sits at the intersection of revenue ownership and revenue architecture. I partner directly with CEOs, boards, and investors to design and run revenue models that prioritize:

• Predictable, auditable forecasting
• GTM execution aligned to regulated buyer workflows
• Pricing and monetization grounded in usage, risk, and operational reality
• RevOps and governance capable of withstanding diligence, audits, and scale

Across defense, aerospace, manufacturing, pharma, healthcare, financial services, and retail, I’ve built and rebuilt global revenue organizations in environments where precision and operational discipline were required—not optional.

My background includes:

Unified global GTM leadership across Sales, SDR, Marketing, Partnerships, and RevOps

Enterprise pricing and monetization architecture under regulatory constraints

Forecasting systems used in PE recapitalization and diligence processes

Post-acquisition GTM integration and execution governance

I operate fact-first and analytically, with a focus on eliminating ambiguity, waste, and false confidence from revenue systems.

Today, I work with enterprise SaaS leaders and investors on revenue leadership, GTM risk reduction, and scale readiness—most often in situations where the cost of being wrong is material, not theoretical.

In regulated manufacturing, traceability and execution control are no longer compliance hygiene. They are capital protection mechanisms.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
◼ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
⇢Stop performing autopsies on your margins. Manual logs and ERP-based tracking are retrospective documents of money that is already gone.

⇢$30k–$100k per hour: The cost of unplanned downtime and OEM penalties in Tier-1 environments.

⇢Validation Debt: The permanent tax on labor and agility caused by manual compliance.

⇢Recall Exposure: Without unit-level traceability, a minor correction turns into a catastrophic financial event.

⇢These are not edge cases. They are the predictable outcome of after-the-fact execution control.

⇢Financial services embedded controls inside execution years ago:
⇢Real-time transaction validation: Preventing the error before it clears.
⇢Automated prevention: Not retrospective review.
⇢Unit-level auditability: By default.

→Manufacturing is now facing the same economic math. Prevention scales better than remediation.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
◼ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗢𝗜
⇢Organizations that move from Systems of Record (Historical logs) to Systems of Action (Real-time interlocks) see:

⇢10–15% Improvement in First Pass Yield: Through structural prevention, not just reporting.

⇢Always Audit-Ready: Eliminating "Validation Purgatory" and 6-month system headaches.

⇢Mission Assurance: Recovering 25–30% of engineering bandwidth by eliminating manual reconciliation.

→ This is not software ROI. This is Execution Discipline removing risk from the P&L.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
◼ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲
In 2026, execution discipline will outperform feature velocity. Not because it is safer—but because it is economically unavoidable.

𝑻𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑪𝑨𝑳 𝑰𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑰𝑮𝑬𝑵𝑪𝑬] 2026 𝑸1 | 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑺𝑬𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨𝑹𝒀 𝑨𝑰 𝑺𝑼𝑹𝑮𝑬

While the headlines are focused on AGI timelines, the smart money is moving into the Application Middleware and Vertical Reasoning layers. 

For GPs and Family Offices, these "lesser-known" entries represent the true alpha of the 2026 vintage

◈ EMERGING ALPHA | VERTICAL REASONING & STEALTH EXITS

We are seeing a pivot from "General AI" to "High-Traceability" systems for regulated sectors.

ritivel (YC W26) [PHARMA STACK] • Just emerged from stealth (Jan 2026) with a word-level traceability engine for FDA submissions. They solve the "traceability bottleneck" in clinical trials—a space where generic LLMs fail.

Emergent [Vibe Coding] • Closed a $70M Series B (SoftBank /Khosla Ventures) just four months after their Series A. They are pioneering "Vibe-Coding"—natural language to full-stack deployment—aiming for $100M ARR within 24 mths.

LMArena [EVALUATION INFRA] • Secured $150M (Felicis Investments) at a $1.7B valuation. In an era of model saturation, the company that grades the models becomes the ultimate arbiter of value.

◈ M&A | INFRASTRUCTURE "AQUIGRAFTS"

Strategics are no longer just buying talent; they are buying runtime and safety guardrails.

Anthropic / Bun • In a surprising move, Anthropic acquired Bun (Dec 2025). By owning the JavaScript runtime, they are integrating Constitutional AI directly into the execution layer of Claude Code.

Red Hat / Chatterbox Labs • A tactical acquisition to bring AI safety and model-agnostic guardrails into the enterprise Linux ecosystem.

ServiceNow / Moveworks • Closing now. This merges "Agentic AI" with the front-end assistant layer, signaling the end of the "Standalone Chatbot" era in HR/IT.

◈ VENTURE DEALS | THE EDGE & COLLABORATIVE LAYER

Capital is moving toward the hardware-software interface and multi-agent coordination.

Ethernovia • Raised $90M (Jan 2026) for automotive-grade packet processors. As "Embodied AI" moves into transport, the data-bottleneck at the chip level is the next massive investment vector.

Ivo • $55M Series B to scale contract intelligence. Unlike general legal AI, Ivo focuses on the "Contract Lifecycle" for mid-market legal teams, hitting a high-density workflow moat.

DeepWisdom • Recently backed by Cathay Capital, they are building the infrastructure for "Collaborative AI"—allowing distinct agentic systems to negotiate and trade tasks in real-time.

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. 

In regulated production, execution control has moved from compliance to board-level capital protection. 

By 2026, the divide is clear: you either perform an autopsy on failure or architect it out of your P&L. 
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

◼ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 
⇢ Autopsy-based reporting kills EBITDA. Historical records document failure only after capital is lost. 

⇢ $30k–$100k per hour: The verified cost of unplanned downtime and OEM penalties in Tier-1 environments. 

⇢ Validation Debt: The persistent drag on workforce agility caused by manual compliance bottlenecks. 

⇢ Recall Amplification: Without unit-level traceability, localized defects become multi-site financial events. 

⇢ Execution Risk is structural. Strategy failure is rarely about the plan; it is the gap between intent and shop-floor reality. 
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

◼ 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰–𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱) 
⇢ Automotive (Ford Motor Company & Stellantis): Record recalls in 2025 were often attributed to process control gaps. OEE is a vanity metric without real-time interlocks to stop defects at the station. 

⇢ MedTech (FDA Enforcement): 86% of FDA Warning Letters cite Quality System failures (21 CFR 820), primarily in CAPA and Design Controls. Manufacturers must pivot from manual documentation to inherent compliance. 

⇢ Aerospace (RTX & Boeing): Multi-million dollar settlements for ITAR and quality findings highlight the danger of data sovereignty failures. Traceability is mission assurance.  
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

◼ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗣&𝗟 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 
⇢ Transition from Systems of Record to Systems of Action: 
⇢ 10–15% Yield Improvement: Achieved through structural prevention at the point of work. 

⇢ Always Audit-Ready: Embedding compliance into the digital thread to eliminate "Validation Purgatory." 

⇢ Resource Alignment: Recovering 25–30% of engineering bandwidth by eliminating manual reconciliation. 

→ This is not a technology purchase. This is operational integrity protecting the balance sheet. 
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

◼ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 In 2026, execution discipline will outperform strategy velocity. Not because it is safer—but because it is economically unavoidable.

[𝑹𝑬𝑮𝑼𝑳𝑨𝑻𝑶𝑹𝒀 𝑨𝑳𝑷𝑯𝑨] 𝑸1 2026: 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑳𝑰𝑨𝑵𝑪𝑬-𝑫𝑹𝑰𝑽𝑬𝑵 𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑲𝑬𝑻 𝑩𝑰𝑭𝑼𝑹𝑪𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵

As we move toward the AUGUST 2, 2026 enforcement deadline for the EU AI Act, a new class of "Tier-1" assets is emerging. 

For Chief Risk and Chief Legal Officers, the focus has shifted from "How fast can it generate?" to "How easily can it be audited?"

The market is currently witnessing a massive capital rotation into systems capable of handling High-Risk AI System (HRAI) documentation—the non-negotiable entry requirement for the European financial sector.

◈ THE COMPLIANCE ACCELERANT | HRAI & SOVEREIGN GOVERNANCE

The EU AI Act has effectively mandated a new "Software Bill of Materials" for intelligence.  

DETERMINISTIC TRACEABILITY • Financial institutions are fleeing "black-box" models in favor of platforms that offer Generative Document Intelligence.

REGULATORY SURGE • We are seeing a 300% YoY increase in RFP requirements for "High-Risk" certification. 

◈ THE COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE | ORCHESTRATION VS. GOVERNANCE

While the "Big 3" continue to dominate general orchestration, a performance gap is widening in specialized compliance:

THE LEGACY GIANTS • Major players like Palantir Technologies and C3.ai are rapidly adding "Governance Wrappers" to their existing stacks. However, their reliance on external foundational models often creates a "Transparency Debt" that institutional buyers are increasingly wary of.

THE ARCHITECTURAL SHIFT • The true outliers this quarter are the platforms that integrated governance into the training interface. By allowing domain experts (not just data scientists) to tune models within a compliant sandbox, these specialized systems are capturing the high-value "Sovereign AI" contracts that the generic giants are missing.

◈ M&A WATCH | THE "AUDITABILITY" LAND GRAB

Ipsos / STRATEGIC TARGETS • With a €1.2B deployment mandate, Ipsos is hunting for "Human-in-the-loop" interfaces. They aren't looking for more automation; they are looking for the Explainability Layer that allows them to defend their insights to regulators.

BigID / AI DATA MAPPING • The recent expansion of BigID into automated lineage for HRAI systems signals that Data Provenance is the next multi-billion dollar sub-sector within the VC landscape.
