Guiding organizations through AI-enabled operations, systems modernization, and human-centered transformation
Transforming Technology Into Business Value
I work at the intersection of technology, operations, and people—helping organizations modernize how they actually function, not just what tools they use. Over the past two decades, I've led enterprise-scale transformation inside a complex, people-driven organization, guiding the evolution from legacy, on-prem systems to cloud platforms, SaaS solutions, and AI-enabled workflows.
My work consistently sits in the "messy middle": translating strategy into execution, aligning cross-functional teams, and redesigning systems so they are adopted, trusted, and sustained. AI has become a meaningful part of that work—but never in isolation. I focus on practical, human-in-the-loop applications that reduce friction, surface insight, and extend human capability rather than replace it.
Currently exploring opportunities where enterprise transformation, AI-enabled operations, and long-term value creation intersect.
