As AI Enablement & Strategy Director at Ledn, I focus on driving the practical adoption of AI across the organization. Leveraging expertise in Generative AI Development and the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), I collaborate with leaders across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Operations to design and implement impactful AI-powered solutions. My work is rooted in optimizing workflows, developing tools such as prompt libraries and automations, and embedding generative AI technologies into engineering pipelines to create scalable and measurable business impact. With over 10 years of experience in backend engineering and technical leadership, I have a deep commitment to building resilient systems and fostering organizational change. My mission is to create a culture that embraces innovation, enabling teams to work differently and more effectively with AI. My expertise lies in translating complex technical visions into actionable solutions that meet organizational goals, ensuring they are both practical and transformative.
At Ledn, I own the execution of the company's AI adoption strategy — bridging the gap between technical vision and real-world impact across every business function. My work spans the full organization: partnering with leaders in Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Operations to map their workflows, surface high-leverage opportunities, and design AI-powered solutions that actually get used. From workflow automations and prompt libraries to embedding GenAI tools into engineering pipelines, I focus on making adoption practical, scalable, and measurably impactful. A big part of what I do is organizational change — building the processes, playbooks, and culture that help teams work differently, not just work with new tools. I track adoption outcomes with rigor, establish clear KPIs, and make sure the people side of AI transformation is handled with as much care as the technical side. Ledn serves digital asset holders in over 150 countries. Operating at that scale, in a regulated environment, means AI enablement here isn't just about efficiency — it's about building a more resilient, capable organization for the long term.
