About Me
I Help Enterprises Win with Data & AI
With 15+ years at the intersection of data, AI, and business strategy, I've seen what separates organizations that build lasting AI advantage from those stuck in perpetual pilot mode.
I've led data and AI transformations at Fortune 500 companies and built data platforms from scratch at high-growth startups. My focus is always the same: make data and AI create measurable business value — not just impressive demos.

Philosophy
How I Approach the Work
The principles that guide my work.
Strategy Before Technology
The best data platform in the world cannot rescue a strategy problem. I start every project with business outcomes, not tool selection.
Rigor Over Hype
AI is powerful and overhyped in equal measure. I help teams separate signal from noise, invest in what will compound, and avoid costly distraction.
Build to Last
I design for the team that will maintain the system five years after I leave. Elegant solutions that are simple to understand are more valuable than clever ones that are hard to debug.
