AI-first transformation leader turning agentic AI capabilities into measurable workflow adoption and business impact.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI transformation leader who turns emerging AI capabilities into practical workflows, operating mechanisms, training systems, and measurable business impact. At Amazon, I lead AI enablement work focused on moving large teams from tool exposure to applied adoption through use case libraries, governance mechanisms, workflow integration, and adoption measurement.
I’ve built and scaled adoption and transformation programs across enterprise environments—credentialed as an Amazon AI Bar Raiser and serving as AI Champion for the AI for Me program. I architect enterprise-scale AI operational transformation across a 20,000+ program manager organization, designing frameworks that improve scalability, execution velocity, compliance readiness, and workflow-level adoption.
My approach blends change management, executive stakeholder alignment, and KPI-driven mechanisms: at Autodesk I improved retention and expanded enterprise account value while increasing NPS. I also bring product and commercialization depth from my roles as SVP, Marketing & Strategy and Co-Founder & Head of Product Strategy, including raising $4.6M Series A and earning a patent for context-based AI application systems—now applying that same discipline to help define AI-first operating models.
