I manage the tools Spotify employees use every day to get their work done. Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, Figma, and 20+ platforms on one side. Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini Enterprise on the other. My job is making sure all of it works, scales, and doesn't become a compliance nightmare.
Experience

New York, United States
I lead two squads at Spotify covering enterprise tooling and AI infrastructure for a global, 8,000-person organization.
Enterprise Platforms owns the core SaaS stack: Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, Asana, Linear, Figma, and 20+ platforms, along with operational tooling, platform reliability, vendor management, and security controls.
Enterprise AI owns the AI layer: the architecture connecting Spotify's AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Enterprise) to internal systems, the gateway governing how those tools access company data, and the governance frameworks that make it all safe to scale.
What I actually work on:
Contributed to the design of Spotify's internal AI context and orchestration layer, giving employees permission-aware access to company data through AI assistants.
Conceived and own the vision for Access@Spotify, a platform centralizing how employees discover, request, and manage tool access across the org. In active development.
Included in M&A deals as a trusted technology lead, operating with discretion across due diligence, integration planning, and cross-functional execution
Led Gemini Enterprise adoption end to end: procurement, mobile enablement, governance, and a direct Google partnership for early access to the Agent Designer program.
Implementing role-based access and data governance for AI tooling across a multi-model environment with real compliance requirements (SOC1, SOC2, PCI, GDPR).
Oversee a $15M platform portfolio powering how 8,000+ Spotify employees work, from core collaboration tools to AI enablement.
Build teams on psychological safety, high autonomy, and trust. Senior engineers mentor juniors, people disagree openly, and leadership clears blockers.
Champion diversity by building an environment where different perspectives are heard, rewarded, and built into how we operate.
