Where I fit
I sit between strategy and execution: senior enough to work with founders, boards, and executive teams, close enough to delivery to make sure the roadmap becomes working systems.
I turn strategy into owners, cadence, decision systems, and governed AI delivery.
BI CoE and decision systems
Move from reporting as a support function to data products that shape decisions.
Governed AI workflows
Design approval points, audit trails, data controls, and accountability around real workflows.
Proof that data work can move business numbers
Business impact, anonymized.
Public details are anonymized where client confidentiality requires it, but the operating lessons are practical and repeatable.
Two anonymized examples where data work changed operating metrics.
$6.8M procurement savings
Reframed data work around decision cadence, stakeholder ownership, and enterprise-level prioritization. The result was a data capability that helped surface and act on procurement savings opportunities.
Procurement data redesigned around decisions, owners, and savings opportunities.
60% booking failure reduction
Connected operational data, failure diagnostics, and workflow changes so teams could reduce repeated booking breakdowns instead of only reporting them.
Failures dropped when diagnostics were tied to workflow ownership and action.
Writing
AI strategy field notes for leaders building real capability.
I write about data leadership, AI operating models, BI CoEs, agentic workflows, and the practical work of turning AI ambition into governed execution.
Notes on AI operating models, BI CoEs, and governed execution.
AI Strategy
Essays and notes for founders, executives, and transformation leaders who want useful AI systems instead of another round of disconnected pilots.
Engagement models
Flexible leadership for fractional, advisory, interim, and full-time needs.
Useful for SMEs that need senior data leadership, scale-ups building a serious data function, and larger businesses that need transformation leadership with hands-on delivery judgment.
Bring me in for senior data leadership without waiting for the perfect org chart.

Start with the operating problem.
The best first conversation is usually not about tools. It is about the decisions, workflows, teams, and outcomes your data and AI work is supposed to change.
The first call is about decisions, workflows, and the metric you need to move.
