I'm leading AI strategy and data modernization at IRISdata for clients including Mitsubishi HC Capital, T-Mobile, Hitachi, Disney, and PivotX Advisors. I've deployed production AI agents and multi-agent pipelines, modernized legacy platforms, and built a Google Cloud AI platform supporting approximately $534M in cost models.

Previously, I led data products and platforms at LPL Financial, built Silicon Valley Bank's first enterprise data program in nine months, and managed global data platforms at GE. Across financial services and industrial businesses, I've translated technology strategy into measurable growth, efficiency, governance, and board-level outcomes.
