Sr. Director, AI Strategy & Technology · Flex Inc. | Executive Advisor · N47 Venture (Siemens)
I’m an enterprise AI leader with over 20 years of experience building programs that create measurable business value — at the intersection of strategy, technology, and organizational change.
“AI should be run as a business — with rigorous ROI accountability, stage-gated investment, and a change engine that makes adoption real. Not just slides. Not just pilots.”
My work is grounded in operational reality: I’ve architected AI governance councils inside a Fortune 100 manufacturer, advised early-stage industrial AI ventures, and built and exited my own startup. I bring all three perspectives to every engagement.
