- Complex commercial dealmaking. Personally structured and negotiated $1B+ strategic agreements, with deep experience across pricing, contract structure, demand forecasting, and capacity portfolio management
- Frontier customer exposure. Direct experience with frontier AI labs, hyperscalers, or similarly sophisticated technology customers and a strong understanding of how they evaluate large-scale infrastructure commitments
- Exposure to power, energy, data center development, project finance, or capital markets, with an understanding of how infrastructure economics influence commercial decisions
- Top-tier strategy consulting experience, particularly advising technology, cloud, infrastructure, energy, or capital-intensive businesses on commercial strategy, pricing, market structure, or large-scale transactions
- Experience navigating multiple technology generations or hardware platforms and their implications for pricing, customer commitments, and technology risk
