Why do enterprises still find out about supplier failures from a spreadsheet — weeks too late?

That question is why Infis AI exists. We combine internal ERP data with real-time external signals — tariffs, audits, geopolitical events — to give procurement teams risk scores and recommendations they can actually act on. An autopilot, not another dashboard.

2025–

Founder, Infis AI

Fixing the problem I'd been circling my whole career: fragmented systems creating blind spots in supplier risk. Founder residencies at Antler and NEC X sharpened how I go 0→1 in enterprise AI.

2021–25

Product at OvationCXM

Built the integrations platform and connector ecosystem — 100+ connectors across Salesforce, Dynamics, ServiceNow — and learned how enterprises really adopt (or quietly abandon) new tools.

2019–21

MBA at UC Davis

The pull toward product. Studied product management and entrepreneurship, TA'd forecasting and tech-management courses, and rebuilt the campus food pantry's operations with Salesforce along the way.

2015–19

Engineer → integrations lead

Wired up banking APIs at Wipro, then led ERP, MES, and CRM integrations for manufacturers at Mindfire — watching the same story on repeat: critical decisions stalled because the data lived in ten disconnected places.
