About

Exploring passions, sharing insights, and initiating conversations lie at the core of my journey. Over the years, I've had the privilege of witnessing the dynamic evolution of my interests and expertise, both within the organizations I've been part of and through collaborations with clients and partners. While technology often plays a pivotal role in driving change, I firmly believe that sustainable success necessitates a holistic approach. Education, continuous learning, knowledge transfer, change management, and effective commercialization constitute key components, all underpinned by innovative business processes and the presence of inspired leaders.

But if there's one role that truly defines me and brings boundless joy to my life, it's being a husband and a dad. I am fortunate to share my life with a wonderful wife and two amazing teenage kids. The love and connection we share as a family are the most special things in the world to me. From the very beginning, I've been 150% all in as a husband and a father. I might come across as strict at times, but beneath that, I'm a teddy bear ready to do anything for my family. They are my driving force, the source of my motivation, and the reason I strive for excellence every day. Without them, I might just be a golf bum on the course, but with them, I'm driven to make a positive impact in both my professional and personal life.

As the CEO of The SmartHaus Group, I bring over two decades of profound experience in the IT industry, including a distinguished tenure at Dimension Data/NTT. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated visionary leadership, innovative thinking, and a strategic approach to technology.

In a transformative moment of my journey, I spearheaded NTT's integration of its operating companies in the Americas region, serving as the catalyst and financial driving force. Our journey commenced with a thorough validation process that extended beyond financial assessments, entailing a meticulous evaluation of the Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy and the potential synergies and value resulting from consolidating NTT's offerings into a single, cohesive solution. The outcome was compelling: our financial analysis not only affirmed the integration's feasibility but also highlighted the market's robust demand for a unified NTT solution. This endeavor was not solely about operational efficiency but also about positioning NTT as an agile and responsive leader in a rapidly evolving industry.

Today, as the CEO of The SmartHaus Group, I continue to lead with the same spirit of innovation, strategic foresight, and transformative leadership. My vision and expertise are instrumental in propelling our mission to redefine intelligent living solutions, positioning The SmartHaus Group as a trailblazer in the AI-first smart home industry.

In addition to my professional endeavors, I wholeheartedly commit to making a positive impact beyond the corporate realm. I proudly collaborate with both the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and The Children's Tumor Foundation, supporting their noble missions. These experiences have enriched my understanding of the significance of community engagement and giving back.

My blog serves as a platform where I delve into ideas, innovations, and leadership approaches. It's an inviting space where I encourage you to join the discussion. Together, we will explore a wide range of topics that influence the "nature of work" and the pursuit of excellence. The path of a professional journey is replete with challenges and opportunities, and I aim to share the insights gained along the way. I aspire to contribute, even in a small way, to the advancement of individuals in the professional world.
