About

Over a decade translating AI complexity into business outcomes.

I've led data science and AI product across industries and company stages — most recently at Meta, and as Sr Director of AI Product at Charles Schwab — and built the Executive Programs division at Metis that taught C-suite leaders how to think about machine learning before it became a board-level conversation.
