For Industry

AI, analytics, and process transformation need more than tools. They need practical leadership.

I help organizations move from interest in AI and analytics to disciplined, useful adoption. My background combines 17 years of technology delivery leadership, doctoral training in information systems, statistics, award-winning teaching, and hands-on development of AI-enabled tools.

Problems I help solve

Where good intentions stall

  • AI pilots that do not become workflows
  • Teams unsure where AI actually belongs
  • Analytics work that does not change decisions
  • Training that does not change behavior
  • Process improvement efforts that lack adoption
  • Innovation efforts that produce ideas but not implementation

How I work

From framing to evidence

  1. 01

    Frame the real problem

    Separate the symptom from the system that produces it.

  2. 02

    Identify practical use cases

    Find where AI and analytics genuinely belong — and where they don't.

  3. 03

    Build or prototype the solution

    Make something people can touch, quickly.

  4. 04

    Teach the users

    Adoption is a learning problem before it is a technology problem.

  5. 05

    Measure adoption and outcomes

    Track whether behavior and decisions actually change.

  6. 06

    Iterate based on evidence

    Improve what works, retire what doesn't.

  • Director of AI Transformation
  • Director of AI Adoption
  • Director of Innovation
  • Director of Analytics
  • Director of Process Improvement
  • Director of Learning Innovation
  • Workforce Transformation Lead

What makes me different

A rare combination, used together

  • Industry delivery leadership plus academic rigor

    Seventeen years of enterprise delivery, a Ph.D. in information systems, and an M.Stat.

  • Builder, not just strategist

    I design and ship working tools — QuizBuddy, StatsBuddy, Gamelytics, and others.

  • Teacher, not just technologist

    Award-winning teaching is daily practice in making complex systems usable.

  • Human-centered approach to AI

    I design for how people actually behave, not how slides assume they will.

  • Translating complexity for nontechnical audiences

    Statistics, machine learning, and AI explained so teams can act on them.

  • Proven ability to lead programs, people, and clients

    150+ professionals, a $7M portfolio, and clients such as Citibank, MetLife, and Wells Fargo.

Proof in practice

Classroom tools, broader pattern

These began as classroom tools, but the pattern is broader: find a real human workflow problem, build a practical response, test it with users, and improve it.
