startups, frontier AI, and data & analytics
I help leaders make better AI and data decisions—and I'm building again.
I work with founders, executives, boards, investors, and PE/VC teams on consequential technology decisions. In plain language: I help leaders decide where AI creates leverage, what the data foundation requires, and how to make the operating model hold. Select engagements include fractional CAIO/CDO leadership.
