Professional experience

Strategy
that ships.

I lead teams that turn messy data and emerging AI capabilities into systems that drive revenue, improve decisions, and get used—from board-level strategy through production.

How I create leverage

Core expertise

Applied AI systems

Evaluation, context layers, and agent workflows designed around adoption—not demo theater.

Analytics leadership

Building capable teams, useful operating rhythms, and measurement that changes decisions.

Revenue & GTM strategy

Pricing, retention, growth, and sales systems grounded in customer behavior and economics.

Zero-to-one operating

Turning ambiguous mandates into a first working system, a clear story, and a team that can scale it.

Executive translation

Moving fluently between boards, founders, technical teams, and the people doing the daily work.

Hands-on systems building

Python, SQL, TypeScript, and modern AI tools—enough depth to prototype, inspect, and unblock.

Tools

Close enough to the work

I use these to prototype, inspect, and unblock—not as a substitute for the engineering and data teams I lead.
