AI Strategy & Transformation

I help leaders and teams move from AI experimentation to real organizational transformation. Over the last several years, I’ve worked at the intersection of product leadership, enterprise transformation, and applied AI. Most recently, I’ve been leading product and transformation work on a large-scale Agentic AI initiative at a large Agritech Enterprise, helping design and operationalize an AI-powered employee support platform that integrates across IT, HR, procurement, finance, and enterprise systems. My work goes beyond implementing AI features. I help organizations rethink workflows, service delivery, operating models, and employee experiences in a world where AI agents become digital collaborators. This includes defining AI strategy, identifying high-value use cases, designing human-in-the-loop systems, improving adoption, aligning stakeholders, and translating complex technical concepts into practical business outcomes. Before this, I spent ~15 years in product leadership across startups and enterprise environments, including serving as Chief Product Officer at multiple companies and founding a VC-backed AI startup. I’ve worked hands-on with AI product strategy, conversational UX, workflow automation, retrieval systems, agentic architectures, and enterprise integrations long before AI became mainstream. What clients typically value most about working with me is the combination of: * Deep technical and product understanding * Executive-level strategic thinking * Strong facilitation and communication skills * Practical experience implementing AI inside complex organizations * A highly human-centered approach to transformation and change management I work particularly well with founders, product leaders, innovation teams, and enterprise executives trying to navigate questions like: * Where should we apply AI in our organization? * How do we move from pilots to production? * How should AI change our workflows and operating model? * How do we design AI experiences people actually trust and adopt? * What does “agentic AI” realistically mean for our business? * How do we balance speed, risk, governance, and transformation? My coaching style is practical, strategic, collaborative, and grounded in real implementation experience rather than hype.

I'm a corporate AI trainer and strategic advisor who helps organizations integrate AI systematically and safely. I provide executive alignment strategy, hands on organization-wide training, and practical team implementation that ensures AI adoption drives results. My background spans 6+ years in AI-focused companies, including co-founding a Y Combinator-backed startup and leading teams at public companies. This combination of startup agility and enterprise experience means I understand both the technology possibilities and the organizational realities of successful AI rollouts. With 1,250+ hours of hands-on AI experience, from advanced prompting to agentic workflows, to evaluation systems, I specialize in translating generative AI capabilities into clear, actionable strategy for leaders and team members at any technical level. Additionally, I teach core skills: effective prompting, how to build custom AI assistants and workflows, and fluency with major LLM apps like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude so that you have the hands on knowledge to lead from the top and understand what your teams are building. My clients build sustainable capabilities that drive measurable productivity gains and ROI while maintaining safety and quality standards.

My goal is to leave you with the knowledge and frameworks to make confident AI decisions that move your business or career forward.

Welcome to my profile! With a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, I have dedicated my career to applying AI in innovative ways, from scientific research to business applications. As the CEO of Learning Journey AI Inc, I specialize in making AI literacy accessible through practical, project-based learning. My experience includes leading AI initiatives at the National Science Foundation and providing strategic guidance on AI systems for the Department of Defense. Whether you're looking to integrate AI into your business or enhance your team's AI skills, I'm here to help you navigate the complexities of AI with confidence. Let's connect and explore how we can leverage AI to drive your business forward!

I'm uniquely positioned to help businesses navigate AI adoption because I've spent the past two years researching exactly how organizations fail—and succeed—at integrating these tools. In my research on technology adoption patterns, I've analyzed case studies of companies implementing AI systems, interviewed teams about their actual workflows with language models, and documented the gap between how leaders think AI will be used versus how employees actually use it day-to-day. One pattern I've observed repeatedly: organizations that rush to deploy AI without understanding their team's existing decision-making processes end up with expensive tools that sit unused. The successful implementations I've studied all share something in common—they started by mapping human workflows first, then identified specific friction points where AI could genuinely help. As a Claude Campus Ambassador at Anthropic, I work directly with users across different industries to understand their adoption challenges. I've seen a finance team struggle to trust AI-generated analysis until they built verification protocols. I've watched a marketing agency transform their content workflow by strategically integrating AI at three specific touchpoints—not everywhere. These real-world observations inform how I coach: I help you identify where AI creates genuine value versus where it's just noise. My background as Research Manager at the Columbia AI Alignment Club also means I bring a critical perspective on AI safety and responsible deployment—essential for businesses that want to move fast without creating risk. And my experience as a UX Researcher taught me how to translate what I observe in user behavior into concrete strategic recommendations that non-technical stakeholders can actually act on. What makes my coaching different: I don't sell AI hype. I help you figure out where in your operations AI makes sense, how to get your team actually using it, and what pitfalls to avoid based on patterns I've seen across dozens of real implementations. Let's discuss what AI adoption could actually look like for your business—grounded in evidence, not buzzwords.

Over the last few years, I've been helping individuals generate value with AI. If you have questions around how to get started and drive business value, I can help!

I have been a founder, advisor, and educator at the highest levels – and AI is now central to everything I teach and do. At Duke, I run a recurring workshop ("How you can (and should!) build your MVP") teaching founders and operators how to build products using no-code and AI tools. I advise student founders and MBA operators on how to integrate AI into their workflows, products, and go-to-market strategies. Before Duke, I built and sold a SaaS company – and today I use AI tools daily in my own consulting and teaching practice. I understand what's actually possible for non-technical founders and operators right now, and I help people move from AI-curious to AI-native as fast as possible.

I have worked with large blue-chip enterprises like KPMG and CIBC for four years doing AI strategy consulting. I've also worked with several startups to create agents and AI tools. I also have a YouTube channel where I post tutorials on AI.
