We’re at the beginning of the AI era - a shift that will redefine every industry and unlock solutions 

to some of humanity’s biggest challenges.

NVIDIA is at the heart of this transformation. Here, I lead our global Inception program, where my mission is to democratize access to NVIDIA’s full-stack AI platform and build strategic partnerships 

across the startup ecosystem. 

Today, we support 35,000+ startups alongside top VCs and global technology partners, creating an 

innovation flywheel that’s accelerating breakthroughs across every sector.

Across my 25+ years in technology, I’ve helped build and scale ecosystems at some of the world’s 

most influential companies, including AWS (VP of Global Startups, drove record revenue milestones toward a $100B run rate), C360 Technologies (CEO, advanced immersive video experiences with major sports and entertainment partners), Intel Capital (Identified and invested in strategic, category-defining startups), Intel (Led 55+ global partnerships to commercialize ASIC technologies) and Qualcomm (Built global ecosystem partnerships across the 2G–5G transitions).

At NVIDIA, my focus is simple: be a force multiplier for startup success. By connecting visionary founders with the technology, expertise, and ecosystem they need, we’re helping turn bold ideas into world-changing AI companies. There’s no better place - and no more pivotal moment -to build the future.
