Business development, partnerships, and go-to-market.

I lead GitHub's Copilot specialist team across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, and I founded Entopiq, a video-first hiring platform. Before GitHub, I worked in business development, product partnerships, and product commercialization at Microsoft, Mozilla, and Google, and in institutional sales at Barclays.
