I'm a senior AI leader with 20 years experience helping companies glean value from data. I specialize in AI strategy but have over a decade of hands on experience designing and implementing AI solutions in production. My passion for AI strategy comes from years of working on challenging problems and seeing how critical it is for those solutions to be connected and aligned to deep business value. So I still build AI every chance I get, but my deep passion is for helping companies cut through the noise, hype and fear that surround AI and find the solutions that move the right needles for their organization. My background in building and implementing AI solutions gives me a unique perspective to then help companies move past "ideas" into implementation. Too many good ideas fail due to poor execution, so I love to help companies work through the entire life cycle of AI solutions from idea to operationalized value at scale.I'm also a passionate life-long-learner and educator. As such, two of the greatest joys in my life are 1) learning something new, and 2) getting to share that knowledge with others.
