Co-Founder & Chief Revenue Officer

Accelirate Inc.

The "automation world" is always changing, new technologies and methodologies coming into the space on a seemingly daily basis. 


My role as Senior Director of Emerging Technology is to first understand what problems these technologies are trying to solve, what are their unique capabilities and differentiators in the market and how can we leverage that into more value for both our clientele and partner network. 

I work with Executive Leadership from both Product & Services companies to create packaged solutions that are implemented via our Delivery team to automate "business outcomes" and most importantly, solve business problems. 

Whether it's Intelligent Document Processing, iPaas, Conversational AI, Process Mining, IRPA or any number of the new and upcoming "categories of automation", we focus solely on solving problems and we use Automation (and her underlying technologies) to do so.

Senior Director - Emerging Technology

Established the Process Discovery practice that is now comprised of 30+ Business Analysts & Process Architects who lead or assist on projects across numerous industries (BFSI, Healthcare, Oil & Energy, Retail etc..) and various Modernization technologies (iRPA, iPaas, IDP, Process Intelligence etc…). We provide our clients with detailed Modernization roadmaps & deliverables that establish a future state and provide clarity on the value to be returned to the business. 

-	Established numerous service offerings across the Modernization spectrum (Process Mining, Task Mining, iRPA etc..) that have resulted in 7 figure revenue streams for the company.

-	Led multiple enterprise modernization engagements involving C-Suite & Executive Management across numerous industries (Banking, Healthcare, Tech and Retail) that have provided millions in savings for our clients and major revenue streams for Accelirate.

-	Created a 3-phase interview model that rated candidates based on their core skills, experience, and critical thinking abilities to ensure optimal candidates we’re being filtered through the interview process.

-	Created an Employee Evaluation model that assessed our Analysts based on 10 Knowledge Areas (Process Mapping, Stakeholder Management etc..) across 4 expertise levels (Introductory, Competency etc..) to ensure each Analyst was making continuous progress during evaluations.

-	Created our Business Analysis training program that enabled all new hires to be ‘client ready’ within a month, providing them with the foundation to be a successful BA with over 50+ trained internally and many more from our clients using our LMS.

-	Created our Process Discovery methodology that enabled all Process Architects to capture the work being done in an Organization/Key Focus Area and assess the work for Modernization opportunities that align with business objectives and corporate strategy, all with minimal business disruption and few meetings.

Director - Process Discovery

Oversaw the design and development of Automation Navigator, a system of record for any Automation program that assists programs in identifying automation opportunities, provide savings info and feasibility/ease of implementation estimates along with streamlining the capturing of the ‘Current State’ of a process, all in one tool. Design and development began Q3 of 2018 and was completed by Q2 2019 before being sold in 2020 to a RPA vendor.

Product Manager - Automation Navigator

As Employee #1 of Accelirate, I helped establish our Delivery methodology and sign our “lighthouse account” resulting in millions of revenue and helped lead the COE to 100+ Automations & $10MM+ Annualized Savings in under 3 years whilst allocated to the project.
