Driving EV Infrastructure, Product Strategy, And Energy Transition Across North America

I’m an EV charging and energy infrastructure leader with over a decade of experience spanning OEMs, charging networks, and fueling solutions. My work focuses on bridging product development, infrastructure deployment, and commercial strategy to make EV adoption scalable, reliable, and economically viable.

I’ve led initiatives across product strategy, ecosystem partnerships, and infrastructure deployment—helping translate complex technologies into real-world solutions that meet customer needs and business objectives.

What I Do

  • Scaling DC fast charging infrastructure across real-world environments

  • Bridging technical product development with commercial strategy

  • Driving EV adoption through customer experience, partnerships, and operational execution

  • Aligning stakeholders across OEMs, utilities, networks, and internal teams

  • Translating complex technical capabilities into clear business value for internal stakeholders, partners, and customers

Career Highlights

  • Led product strategy and commercialization of a modular DC fast charging platform (Wayne PWR)

  • Developed EV charging ecosystem strategy supporting Porsche’s Taycan launch across North America

  • Supported deployment, operations, and adoption initiatives within one of the largest U.S. public charging networks (EVgo)

My Edge

What differentiates my experience is the ability to operate across the full EV ecosystem—from hardware and software development to network operations and customer experience—while aligning technical execution with commercial outcomes.

I’ve consistently worked at the intersection of engineering, product, and go-to-market teams, translating complexity into actionable strategy and ensuring that what gets built aligns with real-world customer needs and business objectives.

Forward-Looking

I’m focused on advancing the next phase of electrification—where infrastructure, software, and energy systems converge to enable scalable, reliable EV adoption.

The next wave of growth will be driven not just by deployment, but by performance, integration, and customer experience—and that’s where I focus.
