As the Chief Information Officer at Leslie’s, I lead the enterprise IT operations and strategic digital transformation for the nation's largest pool retailer.

I have over 25 years of experience as a C-suite technology executive with Fortune 500 companies in the retail, restaurant, and food distribution industries, delivering holistic and innovative solutions for customers and employees across global and domestic markets.

My core competencies include IT strategy, digital transformation, operations excellence, analytics, AI, enterprise system deployments, merger integration, vendor management, cybersecurity, compliance, and team leadership. I am passionate about applying for-profit industry best practices that have impactful results to the charitable food system, and partnering closely with key stakeholders to align technology with organizational goals. I have successfully led several generative AI deployments, as well as merger integration efforts that resulted in $300M of annual synergy savings. I am also a co-chair of the board leadership and risk committee, and an active collaborator with Silicon Valley startups and GoogleX.
