What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can own end-to-end delivery for AI-enabled products, align executives on risk and compliance, and build scalable teams that ship faster while driving measurable revenue and operational KPIs.

I’m an AI Delivery and Execution leader with 20+ years of experience delivering complex, revenue-generating platforms at Fortune 100 scale. I lead multiple teams and products in ambiguous environments, and I’ve driven $100M+ monetization initiatives across advertising technology, analytics, enterprise systems, and AI-assisted workflows.

As a trusted partner to executives, I help navigate AI adoption, risk, implementation of new and emerging tech, and organizational change—grounded in responsible AI guardrails and “human in the loop” patterns. From building and scaling analytics and BI teams with standardized data governance to designing and validating LLM-enabled workflows for enterprise and GovTech analytics, compliance, and decision support, I focus on execution clarity, throughput, and measurable business impact.
