Client-facing AI enablement leader helping organizations adopt AI for measurable value.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a client-facing AI enablement and adoption leader with 12+ years helping organizations understand, adopt, and realize measurable value from new technology and AI capabilities. I currently own the full engagement lifecycle for 15+ concurrent independent consulting clients.
My work is built on practical change leadership: I lead workshops, training, and hands-on demonstrations that translate complex capabilities into simple, workable outcomes. I navigate skepticism and resistance directly—using disciplined enablement processes to build confidence and excitement around new ways of working.
I’m hands-on proficient with Claude and ChatGPT, and I bring genuine enthusiasm for translating AI capability into practical business outcomes. I also define and track adoption metrics, then continuously improve enablement programs based on client feedback and evaluation methods like Kirkpatrick Level 1–2.
Across enterprise transformations and rapid growth initiatives, I’ve consistently driven measurable results—such as 91% client-reported success/goal alignment and strong adoption follow-up performance. From Salesforce and Workday implementations to enterprise merger enablement, I partner cross-functionally with technical teams to sustain adoption momentum.
