I bring over two decades of leadership across enterprise software, SaaS, and industrial transformation. My journey started in civil and structural engineering, leading global infrastructure projects across Energy, Water, and Industrial sectors. Since then, I’ve led enterprise SaaS companies—both public and private—as CEO and board advisor, focused on driving systemic transformation through AI and automation. Today, I serve as CEO of Swarm Engineering, where we build agentic AI systems that enable enterprises to automate complex decisions and unlock new levels of efficiency and resilience. AI isn’t a bolt-on. It’s the logic layer shaping how organizations operate in real time. This isn’t gradual progress—it’s a leap. Technologies like federated learning and constraint-based reasoning are enabling smarter, decentralized decision systems across the supply chain and beyond. My second book, Agentic Artificial Intelligence, became an Amazon #1 Best Seller at launch, exploring how AI is shifting from passive tools to autonomous collaborators. It builds on my first book, Intelligent Automation, which remains widely used in both industry and academia. At my core, I think like a strategic operator—fusing systems thinking with executional clarity. Whether I’m writing, building, or advising, my focus is simple: compress complexity, elevate outcomes, and challenge conventional limits. I founded VOCAL, a global initiative of 90+ brands collaborating on the future of intelligent automation and AI—because in a world saturated with technology, the real advantage comes from how we think about it.
