Executive judgment.
Hands-on leadership.

My career spans federal healthcare, consulting, and media: leading complex programs through uncertainty, bringing troubled delivery back on track, and turning AI ambition into organized enterprise adoption.

I work with executives on direction and decisions, and with teams on the realities of delivery. That means clarifying ownership, aligning competing priorities, and redesigning processes and workflows to reduce friction, simplify handoffs, and help teams deliver.

My focus today is strategic execution, transformation effectiveness, and practical AI adoption. I bring both the advisory perspective to shape the approach and the operating experience to carry it through.

Need both perspective and execution?
