AI Strategy & Roadmaps
Connect AI investments to business decisions, portfolio priorities, measurable outcomes, and responsible adoption.
Fractional AI Strategy Advisor
Most AI programs stall at the pilot. I help executive teams get past it.
I work with leadership teams as a fractional AI strategy advisor — shaping AI roadmaps, governance, and portfolio decisions without the overhead of a full-time hire. Thirty-five years translating emerging technology into enterprise strategy, products, customer experiences, and operating advantage.

The leadership imperative isn't to start with technology. It's to start with the decisions that move the business — and then build the AI capability that makes those decisions faster, clearer, and defensible.
Where I add value
Six places executive teams get stuck — and where I do my best work
Advisory grounded in building the thing, not just recommending it.
Agentic Decision Intelligence
Design multi-agent approaches that synthesize evidence, compare scenarios, and improve executive decision velocity.
Enterprise Transformation
Align technology, operating models, customer experience, and cross-functional teams around scalable change.
Product & Platform Leadership
Convert emerging-technology concepts into enterprise SaaS capabilities, prototypes, and market-ready solutions.
Innovation & Experience Design
Apply human-centered design and emerging technology to create differentiated products and services.
Board & C-Suite Communication
Translate complex AI concepts into clear choices, risks, governance priorities, and investment narratives.
How we work together
Three ways to engage
Scoped to the decision in front of you — from a single executive session to ongoing advisory alongside your leadership team.
Starting point
Executive Briefing
A working session with your leadership team to establish a shared, non-hype view of what AI can and cannot do in your operating context.
- Current-state read on AI efforts underway
- Where decisions — not tools — are the bottleneck
- A short list of candidate opportunities
Focused engagement
AI Strategy Sprint
A defined engagement that produces an AI roadmap tied to business decisions, prioritized with established frameworks rather than intuition.
- Opportunity assessment and prioritization
- Operating model and governance guardrails
- Sequenced roadmap with investment narrative
Ongoing
Fractional AI Advisor
Retained advisory alongside your executive team — the senior AI perspective in the room, without adding a full-time role.
- Standing counsel to CEO, CIO, CTO, or CPO
- Portfolio and vendor decision support
- Board-ready communication and narrative
Background
Built across the operator, consultant, and founder seats
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Founded an enterprise AI company focused on agentic decision intelligence and generative prioritization — moving AI from experimentation into repeatable executive decision workflows. Created proprietary platform IP that brings together multiple AI perspectives, real-time enterprise data, and structured decision frameworks including RICE, MoSCoW, Eisenhower, scenario planning, and risk assessment. Validated with 17 beta customers; a featured use case compressed a multi-week analysis cycle into hours.
Head of Design
Led experience-design strategy and positioned design as an instrument for shaping digital solutions — connecting customer needs, business goals, and technology delivery, and moving concepts from executive narrative through development-ready execution.
Partner · Chief Innovation Officer, DESS · CX Innovation, Design & Emerging Technology Leader
Held leadership roles spanning customer-experience innovation, design, and emerging technology for enterprise clients. Developed executive perspectives on digital customer experience, mobility, personalization, and the organizational implications of emerging platforms.
Executive Technology & Innovation Roles
Executive leadership within major enterprise software environments, building perspective across CRM, application performance, product innovation, and large-scale technology adoption.
Engineering & Development Leadership
Built and led development teams, establishing a hands-on engineering foundation that continues to inform executive technology strategy and product leadership.

What decision are you trying to get right?
If your team is weighing where to invest in AI — or trying to move from pilots to something that actually runs the business — a short conversation is usually the fastest way to find out whether I can help.
