For Employers and Recruiters

Operations and AI Transformation Executive

I have led technology delivery, customer operations, and client accounts for 20 years, in healthcare, life sciences, and SaaS.

I have owned a practice P&L, led teams of up to 75 people, and overseen technical delivery on client contracts worth $100M.

Today I design and direct an AI build program that has produced three working software platforms.

Open to executive roles in operations, delivery, and AI transformation.
