I am a transformational technology and data executive with more than 20 years of experience modernizing complex, regulated organizations through legacy simplification, strong data governance, and cost‑efficient digital transformation. I build high‑trust teams where talent and innovation intersect, and I specialize in solving enterprise‑wide operational, compliance, and workforce‑experience challenges by improving data quality, enabling AI‑powered automation, and delivering reliable, scalable systems that reduce risk and accelerate performance. In 2025, I stepped away from corporate life to support my family through an important caregiving chapter. That experience grounded me, strengthened my resolve, and deepened the leadership qualities I bring into my work. I returned to the technology space with a renewed commitment to leading modernization, strengthening governance, and enabling data‑driven, AI‑powered transformation. Today, I serve as the senior‑most technology executive for the Detroit Athletic Club, bringing CIO‑level leadership to enterprise technology, cybersecurity, data, and digital operations. I continue to apply my background across Big 4 consulting, legal operations, law enforcement, and enterprise IT to unify business and technology strategy, accelerate transformation, strengthen architecture, and deliver measurable improvements in reliability, compliance, and cost efficiency. Across my career, I’ve delivered significant cost reductions, strengthened privacy and compliance readiness, elevated data quality, and accelerated multi‑year transformation roadmaps. I’m known for unifying organizations around clear priorities to deliver technology that simplifies complexity, improves decision‑making, and creates sustained business value. I’m always open to connecting with leaders and organizations who are shaping ambitious transformation, value technology that simplifies complexity and strengthens performance, and share a commitment to clarity, people‑centered leadership, and integrity.

After more than two decades in senior technology and operations roles, I took an intentional pause to support family caregiving needs. This chapter reinforced my belief that strong leadership is built on resilience, integrity, and the ability to navigate complexity with calm and purpose.
