AI Strategy Advisor, Chief AI Officer

About Me

I work with CEOs, boards, and investors to make AI work inside real enterprises where risk, regulation, and accountability are non negotiable. I work both as an advisor and as an operator. I partner with leadership teams to define AI strategy and, where needed, step in to help build and run the capability. Most organizations do not struggle with AI ideas. They struggle with making those ideas survive scale, audit, and financial scrutiny. That is where I focus. Former CIO and CTO with 25+ years leading global technology organizations across 20+ countries. For the past 15+ years, I have built and deployed AI and ML systems in live enterprise environments, translating business problems into production capability. My work sits at the intersection of technology, operating model, and executive decision making. I operate at the level of a Chief AI Officer, working with senior leadership teams to define and execute AI strategy at scale. I focus on turning fragmented AI efforts into operating capability, defining how decisions are made, how systems are governed, and how value is measured and realized. My work spans: • Enterprise AI strategy tied to business outcomes • Operating models and decision rights for AI at scale • Responsible AI, risk, and regulatory readiness • Execution across data, cloud, automation, and agentic systems Over the course of my career: • Led $1B+ technology and product portfolios • Delivered $200M+ AI, cloud, and digital programs • Drove $10B+ in realized business value across industries Selected outcomes: • Defined and operationalized enterprise AI strategy for a 150,000+ employee organization • Scaled a $1B portfolio through AI driven automation and workflow redesign • Reduced IT capex by 40% through modernization and platform consolidation • Cut model operations cycles by 50% in regulated financial environments • Turned internal AI capabilities into revenue generating products Roles I am aligned with: • Chief AI Officer • Chief Data and AI Officer • CIO, CTOs • Head of AI or AI Transformation • Enterprise AI and Digital Transformation Leadership I work closely with leadership teams where AI is a core business priority and requires clear ownership, governance, and execution.
