I Lead Things. Some people do crosswords for fun...I write books, code AI apps, and run companies. There's Always Something New to try. Today, it's building the models that will sustain for the next 25 years — and recruiting the teams that will get it done.Throughout my career, I have driven innovation, managed high-performance teams, and navigated complex business landscapes, from global enterprises to 1-person start-ups. My expertise lies in understanding how emerging technologies like AI will impact business and process. I even wrote a book about that. By studying the interaction of new technology with existing business, I understand the critical role of change management that enables organizations to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing environment.Passionate about technology and its potential to drive positive change, I am constantly seeking opportunities to collaborate with like-minded professionals and contribute to impactful projects. When necessary, I work hands-on by writing code, deploying apps, publishing books, and leading live events. These activities reflect my commitment to knowledge-sharing and satisfy an intrinsic motivation for personal and organizational development.
