AI Strategy Consultant. Helping businesses make better AI decisions.
My work sits at the intersection of business strategy, applied AI thinking, and practical governance — helping leaders move from scattered experimentation to a clearer path.
I spent years in business strategy, branding, marketing, and growth advisory — helping companies position themselves, find their market, and build systems that work. That commercial lens is what I bring to every AI conversation.
When AI shifted from a research curiosity to a business decision, I saw the same pattern repeating: teams adopting tools without a plan, leadership hearing pressure without clarity, and vendors selling solutions before the problem was understood.
The businesses that will succeed with AI aren't the ones that adopt the most tools. They're the ones that make the best decisions about where AI fits, what to prioritize, and how to move forward without creating new risks.
That's the work I do now. I help leaders think through AI strategically — connecting it to growth, operations, and governance — so they can act with confidence instead of reacting to pressure.
The right question is never "which AI tool should we use?" It's "what business problem are we solving, and does AI actually help?"
Smart companies add guardrails early — not because they're scared, but because it makes every subsequent decision faster and more confident.
Business leaders don't need a computer science lesson. They need someone who can explain what matters, what doesn't, and what to do next — in language they can act on.
AI strategy moves fast. Strong advisory depends on ongoing study alongside real-world application.
