I joined Smartsheet because I believe in the power of great technology and great teams. Having used this platform in a previous role, I saw firsthand how it can transform the way organizations connect and collaborate. But what really drew me in was the opportunity to help drive that transformation within the public sector, a space I’m deeply passionate about. Our federal, state, local government, and schools serve incredible missions, and I believe Smartsheet can play a major role in helping them modernize their workflows to better serve humankind. That kind of impact takes more than just software, it takes people working together toward a shared goal.
Throughout my career, what I’m most proud of is having the opportunity to help individuals achieve their professional and personal goals. Whether through my role as a people leader or by supporting customers in realizing their success with our technology, true fulfillment comes from helping people and teams thrive.
One of my core beliefs is in the power of a team. There’s an old saying, “If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.” To me, leadership means fostering that kind of unity and connection. Life is a journey where personal and professional paths often intertwine, and I’m excited to go farther together with team Smartsheet.
I’m also a big believer in how AI can empower us. I’ve been using ChatGPT and Google Gemini for their extensive, AI-driven search capabilities. The aggregate results are impressive, and it’s a huge timesaver to let AI help write follow-up emails, LinkedIn posts, or other creative content. GenAI is the next level of process automation, advancing our learning, content creation, and delivery like never before. There’s so much more to come from AI, both in our personal lives and at work, and I’m excited to use it!
Finally, when it’s time to recharge outside of work, there’s nothing better than a relaxing dinner with my wife, 18 holes of golf with friends, or a match on the tennis courts. Those moments of connection keep me balanced and ready to lead with purpose.
When we lean into each other’s strengths, stay anchored in our mission, and work as a team, there’s no limit to how far we can go. At Smartsheet, I’m excited to help foster that mindset and lead our teams forward—together.
