At BambooHR I founded the AI in Research program, which set the principles, training, and governance for how teams across Product, CX, and Marketing adopt AI in practice. I led the company's first AI in HR study on customer and buyer sentiment, and the findings shaped our 2026 AI roadmap. I also sit on a cross-functional group rethinking how we build products around AI, moving away from a slow build-after-research sequence toward continuous experimentation. What I bring to this is a builder's view of strategy. I spent three and a half years as a full-stack engineer and still ship software, so I can tell the difference between AI that holds up in production and AI that only looks good in a demo. I'm also clear about where AI does not belong, which keeps teams from wasting money and goodwill on projects that were never going to work. If you are trying to figure out where AI fits in your organization, how to get people to actually use it, and what to do first, I can help you build a plan you can defend and execute.
