The strategist who owns the platform

Web strategy. Digital experience. Systems that let teams move faster.

I own the web layer end to end — strategy, architecture, governance, experimentation, and execution. My work sits at the intersection of demand generation, SEO, accessibility, localization, and marketing technology, so teams have a platform that performs and a system they can actually use.

With 15+ years in enterprise web, I spent my last three years at CyberArk owning every web property across nine languages, including a homepage with 337,000+ visits and localized homepages drawing 67,000+ more. I led the web team in India, trained a UX designer who joined the team, managed our European localization vendor, turned a legal accessibility flag into a sitewide program that took Lighthouse accessibility from 46 to 95, and ran the A/B tests behind a Request Demo page that converted about 19% of its visitors.

Today I work as an independent digital experience consultant, advising teams on information architecture, navigation, conversion paths, technical SEO, and accessibility, and testing how AI search engines surface and cite their content.

I am most valuable when the website looks fine on the outside but the strategy, governance, or system behind it needs to be cleaner, faster, and ready for what's next.
