I turn data and AI into value the business can measure. I’ve done it for more than a decade, in three very different industries.

What I do

The industries change. The way I work doesn’t.

I’ve worked in AI, machine learning, data and analytics in industries with almost nothing in common. So what I bring isn’t industry knowledge. It’s a way of working: start from the business problem, build the team that can solve it, and make sure the result outlasts me.

I started in strategy consulting, and I think in P&L terms.

I still write code.
