Current Focus
I am dedicated to advancing the integration of knowledge management and advanced analytics to deliver actionable insights and intelligence to executive leadership. My work emphasizes the development of AI-driven solutions that enhance organizational performance, streamline decision-making, and foster innovation. Through speaking engagements and publications, I aim to contribute to the evolving discourse on strategic intelligence in the knowledge economy.
I am equally passionate about people and leading high-performing teams. Working in the liminal space between complex and complicated environments, I thrive in ambiguity and embrace agile practices and emerging technologies. Naturally positioned to span domains and organizational boundaries, I bring together senior business leaders, subject matter experts, data scientists, users, developers, and change agents to co-create groundbreaking digital products and pave the way for transformative change.
