About
As the CEO of Athena, a cutting-edge technology company that provides AI-empowered assistants for business optimization, I lead a team of talented and passionate professionals who share a common vision of transforming the way organizations operate and grow. I co-founded Athena in 2021, after successfully exiting from TaskUs, a global outsourcing company that I helped scale from a startup to a market leader with over 20,000 employees and $500 million in annual revenue.
With more than 20 years of experience in management, operations, and business development, I have a proven track record of delivering results, driving innovation, and building high-performance teams. I have extensive expertise in customer relationship management (CRM), process improvement, new business development, and international expansion. I am also a member of YPO, a global network of chief executives who are committed to learning, leadership, and impact. I am always eager to take on new challenges, learn from others, and make a positive difference in the world.
