I’m a customer-facing AI research leader driving clarity and strategy at the frontiers of AI.

As Senior AI Research Manager at Salesforce, I lead a team of researchers and engineers advancing the next wave of enterprise AI, from AI Agents and On-Device AI to Small Language Models and Efficient LLMs. Our work bridges research and real-world applications, transforming how businesses harness AI.

Before Salesforce, I sharpened my expertise at Intel, IBM Research, MITRE, and the Department of Defense. I hold a Ph.D. in Mathematics (Machine Learning Theory) from the University of Illinois at Chicago, an M.S. from Northwestern, and a B.S. from MIT.

Outside of AI, I’m energized by CrossFit, hiking, and public speaking. I love mentoring, teaching, reading, and laughing with family, friends, and my cat.
