A senior strategy or leadership role at a company serious about running AI as an operating and differentiating capability rather than a portfolio of pilots. I'm most energized by the executive layer: how leadership authors the ways in which human and predictive systems behave. Strongest fit with firms operating between Japan, Europe, and/or US in knowledge-intensive industries.
