The job

Launching Azure services nobody had heard of into rooms full of people who already had a vendor.

Redmond, Washington

Seven years launching Azure services. Twelve services shipped over the stretch, most of them infrastructure that engineers loved and procurement officers had never heard of. One of them was Azure SQL Data Warehouse Gen2, which is a sentence you can only love if you are the engineer who built it or the marketer who has to sell it. I learned to love it. Then I learned to translate it.

The work was finding the sentence that made a procurement officer say yes to a thing her engineers already wanted. Sometimes that sentence was thirty words long. Sometimes it was four. It was almost never the sentence the product team brought to the first meeting.

The job

Creating a data category from scratch and running the playbook that proved it existed.

Seattle, Washington

Five years across the data and AI portfolio. I named Zero Copy, a category that did not exist when I started and is now the language Snowflake, Databricks and Microsoft use in their own decks. Naming a category is the job. Defending the name long enough for other people to start using it is also the job.

On the Tableau AI relaunch I owned the go-to-market end to end and closed the quarter at 150% of pipeline target. I led the State of Data and Analytics research: eleven thousand respondents, eighteen countries. I watched the report become one of the most cited Salesforce data studies of the era.

UiPath.

The job, currently

Senior Director of Product Marketing: the agentic automation portfolio.

Seattle · remote

Three products under the brief: Autopilot, Maestro, and ABO. Together they are UiPath's bet on AI agents that automate work rather than demonstrate it. The category does not yet have stable nouns. Building it is half the work; the other half is keeping the product team's promises honest while we do.

I run a team of roughly twenty product marketers across positioning, launches, analyst relations, and category narrative. The work is what it has always been: turn infrastructure engineers love into sentences a CFO can repeat without flinching. The infrastructure is just smarter now.

A note on the through-line

Four companies, twenty years, one job. The job has not changed. The category has. The buyers have. The acronyms have. The work (taking something engineers love and translating it into a sentence a procurement officer can defend on a Tuesday) has not.

Reverse chronological, in case you came looking for the most recent thing first: that is UiPath. The earliest chapter, before any of this, is a Delhi newsroom.
