About
For 23 years, I’ve built businesses on infrastructure shifts before they were mainstream. Mobile in 2002: founded Azure Media in partnership with Blackberry, serving Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley. Streaming in 2009: founded Qello Concerts on AWS, reached 160+ countries during the direct-to-consumer cord-cutting shift. Cloud media in 2018: founded IOIO and built it into a showcase deployment in AWS’s Media and Entertainment vertical post Elemental, running the cloud stack for FloSports, NFL, Fenway Sports Group/NESN, Sony Music, Verizon Media, and Snapchat. Now AI inference, where the economics surpass the last three shifts combined. Enterprises are hitting the wall hyperscalers built them into: inference bills growing faster than AI revenue, latency that breaks agentic workloads, and no control surface for AI traffic. The companies that solve this won’t be the ones just reselling GPU hours, rather, offering full stack solutions. They’ll be the ones who have built and scaled enterprise platforms before during such significant market shifts. I’m bringing 23 years of launching media, sports, and enterprise platforms to the cost and architecture challenges facing AI Native and Fortune 500 companies in gaming, financial services, media, retail, and healthcare.
