Profile

For 20+ years, I've served as a trusted partner and technology executive for Fortune 500 and high-growth organizations — helping C-suite leaders translate AI and emerging technology into measurable business outcomes.

My clients don't hire me to build software. They hire me because they need an experienced executive who can identify where AI creates a real competitive advantage, design the strategy to capture it, and lead the implementation without the overhead of a full-time hire.

I've embedded with organizations including Bridgestone, Sony, HarperCollins, PepsiCo, and Vanderbilt University — not as a vendor, but as a fractional executive accountable for outcomes. What I bring isn't just technical fluency — it's 20+ years of knowing which technology bets pay off and which don't.
