AI Services

I served as Value Creation Lead and AI Deployment Strategist at Beamery, a venture-backed AI startup, where I pioneered a first-to-market Task Intelligence product that identified 30% AI augmentation potential across enterprise functions and generated 10x contract expansion with clients in financial services, life sciences, and manufacturing. I now lead Global Customer Strategy at Workday, where AI-driven product strategy sits at the center of how we plan customer deployments. I coach professionals targeting AI strategy and AI-adjacent customer strategy roles. My angle is practical: how these roles actually get filled, what hiring managers want in non-technical AI hires, and how to position a non-traditional background as a strength.

My experience with AI strategy spans quantitative finance, big tech, and early-stage startups. At EY-Parthenon, I supported strategy engagements and influenced major M&A decisions. At Contrary, I researched 30+ early-stage AI companies and helped define investment theses across AI agents and SaaS tooling, which gave me a strong sense of where AI is actually creating value versus where it is noise. At Metis (YC) and Mercor, I worked on scaling AI tools operationally, running benchmarks, building dashboards, and helping teams make smarter decisions with data. If you are trying to break into AI strategy or consulting, pivot your background into this space, or just learn how to tell a sharper story to hiring teams, I can help you figure out the right path forward.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in AI and software engineering, I bring a wealth of experience from leading tech companies like SHIZA AI, Scale AI, and Wells Fargo. As a Senior AI Engineer, I specialize in ethical AI research and developing cutting-edge solutions for a post-agentic world. My journey has equipped me with the skills to guide clients through the complexities of AI services, from validating multimodal coding workflows to modernizing data pipelines. Whether you're looking to enhance your AI strategy or navigate the latest in generative AI, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and explore how we can work together to elevate your AI initiatives!

I build AI systems that run in production, and I coach from inside them. What I've built: I design and operate agentic pipelines in daily use — scheduled agents that detect new reporting, stage collection runs, and produce structured triage boards a human reviews and decides on. I'm in these every day, not advising on them from the outside. I built the governance framework first and the workflows on top of it: policies for safe, ethical, and transparent use, data handling, and output quality control. Turnaround on recurring deliverables dropped by more than 60% while holding human-verified quality standards. I lead hands-on AI implementation for a consumer-products company — tools their staff use immediately, and training that gets non-technical people applying AI to their own business problems. For another client I ran an AI maturity assessment and a phased adoption roadmap, and escalated vendor-support gaps directly to the owner to control cost and improve performance. Why governance first, and why it isn't paperwork: At a government contractor I integrated CMMI, CMMC, and insider risk into a single governance system rather than running them as parallel tracks. I structured CMMC execution to simultaneously demonstrate the process maturity CMMI required, using one program's discipline as evidence for another's. CMMI Level 2 to Level 3 and full CMMC implementation both completed in under a year. That's the same move that separates an AI deployment surviving contact with a real organization from a pilot that quietly dies. What I check before I automate anything: whether the work traces back to a goal. Automation is faithful — it reproduces whatever it's pointed at, gaps included — so I confirm the process is connected to an outcome before I make it faster. That's why the automation holds afterward. I coach at three altitudes, because the same problem looks different at each: Individual contributor under pressure to produce with AI and unsure how. Team manager who has to coordinate people, standards, and output quality across a team using it. Senior leader accountable for adoption, governance, risk, spend, and whether any of it connects to organizational goals. I've sat in all three seats, in government and in the private sector. If you operate in a regulated, governed, or public-sector environment, that isn't background — it's why my recommendations survive your compliance review. PMP · A-CSM · CSPO · Atlassian Certified

I have led AI and product strategy at OpenAI, Spotify, and Coinbase, helping companies translate complex technology into real business results. My experience spans applied AI systems like GPT, LLMs (large language models), recommendation engines, personalization models, and generative tools for marketing and operations. I help founders and executives identify where AI creates leverage, design pilot projects that deliver measurable value, and scale those wins across their organization. My coaching combines technical insight with business strategy so you can avoid hype, move fast, and focus on ROI. Whether you are building your first AI feature or rethinking your business model, I will guide you through a clear, practical approach that drives real outcomes. A few examples of client projects and results from my coaching include: 1. Partnered with a founder to identify high-ROI automation opportunities using GPT-4 and Zapier, reducing manual workflow hours by 40%. 2. Guided an executive team on integrating AI-driven analytics dashboards into their customer success process, improving churn prediction accuracy. 3. Helped a marketing leader deploy a custom fine-tuned model for campaign insights, saving their team 20+ hours a week in reporting.

AI transformation is where I spend much of my time today. As a former digital leader at AWS, I've guided more than 100 clients through technology and AI-driven change, and I've seen the pattern up close: the strategy decks are rarely the problem. Adoption, leadership alignment, and people are. I can help you build an AI strategy that survives contact with reality, lead your organization or team through change without triggering the resistance that sinks most efforts, and grow into the kind of leader who is trusted to drive transformation rather than just talk about it. I bring real enterprise transformation experience, and as an ICF-ACC certified coach, the ability to work on both the strategy and the leadership it takes to land it.
