AI Services

Welcome to my profile! With over 15 years of experience at the intersection of AI, leadership, and HR, I specialize in helping organizations navigate complex transformations and build systems that truly work for humans. My journey includes leading HR transformation efforts at GE Vernova and GE Power, where I developed global upskilling frameworks and applied AI tools to enhance HR operations. As a Strategic Advisor, I now focus on empowering leaders to achieve clarity, make better decisions, and design systems that support real progress. Whether you're looking to scale your organization, integrate AI effectively, or create a more human-centric workplace, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and explore how I can support your strategic goals!

If your team loses hours every week to the same reports, inbox sorting, data pulls, or follow-ups, I'll build the automation that takes it over. This is for small business owners, solo operators, and team leads who want the work done, not a course. Each engagement is a scoped project with a fixed deliverable. First we find the one workflow costing you the most time. Then I build it with you or for you, and we measure success in hours returned. Examples of what I build: - a monitor that tracks a market and sends you a daily summary - inbox triage that sorts messages and drafts replies - a recurring report that refreshes itself I built versions of these for my own team at LinkedIn, and I run my own AI agent daily. I build with Claude Code and n8n, and I work inside what your team already uses, including Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Gemini. You'll leave with: - a working automation - documentation your team can follow - a short list of the next workflows worth automating

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.

With over two decades of experience in strategic growth and innovation, I specialize in leveraging AI to transform businesses. As the Incubator Director at the University of Southern California, I founded a highly-competitive startup accelerator, guiding over 250 companies across diverse industries like AI, SaaS, and healthtech to raise $350M+ and achieve significant market success. My role as a founder of multiple accelerator programs, including Hong Kong’s first funded startup accelerator, has equipped me with the skills to help businesses understand and improve their unit economics and market entry strategies. I also bring a wealth of knowledge from my time as a Senior Management Consultant at BearingPoint, where I advised Fortune 100 companies on tech strategy.

I’m the founder an AI consulting and implementation firm that helps businesses identify where AI can create real value and then builds the systems to make it happen. I work directly with business owners and teams to diagnose operational problems and turn the right opportunities into working agents, automations, applications, and integrated workflows. I’ve built and shipped AI systems across a variety of industries: • A vision AI tool that reduced quote times aerospace maintenance and repair • Automated sales and marketing outreach that's generated a millions in revenue pipeline • Lead intake, qualification, and responder agents in real estate, healthcare, and home services • System-wide agentic systems that span CRM, Project Management, and accounting • Model training for a music education technology startup I’ve also helped teams evaluate models, prototype new AI products, and turn ideas that started on a whiteboard into systems running in production. My perspective is also shaped by 15 years of helping organizations adopt new processes and technology. That’s why I tend to start with how the business actually works rather than with an AI tool. The technology matters, but the real test is whether the solution improves the business and whether the people doing the work actually use it.

An area of particular interest to me is using AI for productivity gains. In other words, looking for ways to buy some time back for yourself or your teams so you can use your own time more intentionally. This is especially helpful in an HR role where there might be a lot of manual and administrative tasks that AI can help with. Additionally, AI can also be tremendously helpful on your career growth journey - whether that's creating and tailoring a resume, practicing interview questions, setting career goals and finding what excites you, etc. Whether you're just starting out your AI journey or looking for some ideas on how to use it, I'm here to help!
