Founder
I help enterprises become AI-native, not by selling the vision, but by doing the hard work of making it real.With 15+ years designing and architecting AI systems at VP level across two of the largest US financial institutions, I’ve learned that successful AI transformation isn’t a technology problem. It’s a people, process, and design problem. I’ve sat in the rooms where those problems live, navigating 150+ stakeholders across legal, risk, compliance, and engineering — and I’ve built the frameworks, roadmaps, and adoption strategies that actually stick.I’m a named inventor on 14 US multimodal AI patents. Not as a credential to hang on a wall, but as evidence that I’ve been working at the frontier of human-AI interaction long enough to have shaped what’s possible.My work spans: • Enterprise AI adoption strategy and change management • Executive workshops, future-state visioning, and roadmapping • Agentic AI workflow design and governance • Conversational AI, voice, and multimodal systems across regulated industriesI work best when the problem is hard, the stakes are real, and the organization is ready to transform — not just experiment.Bilingual EN/ES. Based in Chicago. Open to remote.
