I help law firms and regulated institutions turn AI risk into a strategic advantage. I design AI governance frameworks that hold up under audit, regulatory scrutiny, and real-world operational pressure: risk classification, escalation workflows, policy controls, third-party oversight, and documentation that remains functional as tools, use cases, and business demands evolve. My work sits at the intersection of law, enterprise technology, and risk. Over the past decade, I’ve worked across legal technology, enterprise strategy, and technology adoption, supporting AmLaw firms, Fortune 500 legal departments, and regulated organizations navigating technology transformation. Background includes: • Enterprise legal technology at LexisNexis, partnering with leading law firms on adoption and operational transformation • Client strategy and product discovery at PERSUIT, translating enterprise legal operations needs into scalable technology solutions • Independent advisory work focused on AI governance, operating models, risk controls, and execution frameworks for regulated environments I specialize in building governance structures that do more than satisfy policy requirements; they create clarity, accelerate responsible adoption, and scale with the business.
