I help organizations imagine what's possible — then build it

I bring human-centered curiosity and strategic acumen to complex change. But I don't stop at the roadmap — I build the systems, and get them adopted. Agents, automations, and dashboards in production and daily use across Finance, Investor Relations, Sales, Legal, and Marketing at a Fortune 500 insurer.

Strategy is listening — and helping bold ideas survive.

Great strategy starts with listening — but the harder job is creating conditions where bold ideas survive contact with organizations. That means building trust, surfacing hidden tensions, and bringing provocative thinking that challenges the orthodoxies holding organizations back. And increasingly, it means putting a working agent in someone's hands so the idea proves itself.

See It Early

I spot where new technology and shifting behavior can solve a problem differently — often before it's obvious to anyone else.

"I was telling a colleague how great the Market Insights Agent is that you built… we'd like to build something similar for Investor Relations."SVP, Strategy & Market Research — Fortune 500 Insurer
Make It Legible

I translate ambiguous, technical complexity into clear choices — without oversimplifying — so the right people understand the tradeoffs and can decide.

"You did a fantastic job on the AI call… impressive."President & Chief Executive Officer — Fortune 500 Insurer
Build the System

I prototype, experiment, and ship the working thing — agents, automations, dashboards — not just the recommendation.

"The results are perfect! The entire process is now hands-off."Business Operations — Fortune 500 Insurer
Bring People With Me

Understanding isn't the same as commitment. I build the trust and momentum that turn a decision into something teams actually adopt — and sustain.
