Message

I work at the intersection of technology, ethics, and organizational leadership. With a foundation in highly regulated sectors and a growing focus on responsible AI integration, I help organizations navigate complex transformations with strategic clarity and care. I believe innovation must be as human-centered as it is future-facing.
