Senior Manager, Technical Support Management

I lead technical-support transformation where executive strategy meets hands-on execution — scalable operating models, high-severity incident command, the analytics that govern the work, and AI-powered support that returns real capacity to the business.

About

I’m a technical-support and transformation leader who moves fluidly between the executive room and the terminal. Over six years at ServiceNow I’ve grown from Senior Technical Support Engineer to Senior Manager by doing the work at every altitude — resolving complex platform issues, standing up global support operating models, commanding major incidents and data-recovery efforts, and building the AI and analytics that make support faster and smarter.

What I care about is turning pressure into calm, competent execution — and building the people and systems that keep performing after the crisis is over.

“Find the root cause, fix it, prove it, and build the system that keeps it fixed.”
