About

I lead organizations through the shift to data and AI-driven decision making, turning data into a durable competitive advantage. As a data and AI executive, I partner with CEOs and cross-functional leaders to define strategy, unlock new revenue opportunities, and improve operational efficiency. My work sits at the intersection of business, product, and technology, ensuring that data and AI are not side capabilities but are core to how the company operates and grows. I build and scale high-performing teams and platforms that enable this transformation, including self-serve analytics, machine learning infrastructure, and AI-powered workflows. I focus on applying LLMs and automation to accelerate decision-making, deepen customer insights, and maintain strong governance through rigorous evaluation and monitoring. I’m particularly drawn to complex, data-rich environments where thoughtful application of data and AI can materially change outcomes.
