> Global Head of Engineering, Audiobooks Supply Chain at Spotify.

I am a global technology leader dedicated to architecting the systems that power the world’s most iconic digital experiences. Currently, I serve as the Global Head of Engineering for Audiobooks Supply Chain at Spotify, where I oversee the technical infrastructure responsible for the lifecycle of our global audiobooks catalog—from creator ingestion to global distribution.

My career is defined by scaling platforms that operate at the intersection of massive data and human creativity. Previously, as leader of Spotify’s Music Technologies and Platforms division, I scaled our data infrastructure 4x while reducing cloud spend by 40% through strategic hardware and vendor optimizations. My teams have built the foundational systems for flagship products like Spotify for Artists and Wrapped.

Before Spotify, I led the modernization of payment systems at Capital One, driving $3B in incremental spend by returning credit to users faster. I’ve built award-winning experiences across iOS, smart speakers, wearables, and cars—earning multiple J.D. Power Awards and a Google Material Design Award.

Board member @ Florida State University. 

Ex: VP of Engineering at Ergatta & Head of Engineering (Payments & Growth) at Capital One
