Four decades building technology. Now I help enterprises put AI to work at scale.
Engineer, enterprise cloud architect, founder, and recognized technology leader. Today, as a Strategic AI Specialist at GitHub, I help large organizations adopt, manage, and govern AI as rigorously as they build it.
The short version
I've spent forty years writing software, architecting enterprise cloud, advising leadership teams, and starting companies. That range matters now more than ever, because enterprise AI is not one problem. It is strategy, implementation, adoption, operations, and governance all at once—and it all must be done correctly in order to maximize value and minimize risk.
As an enterprise cloud solution architect I earned the technical credibility to design and ship real systems on a global scale. Through two decades of sales leadership and management consulting I learned what actually moves a market, and what it takes to run technology responsibly and efficiently. As an AI technology and industry expert at GitHub, I put all of it to work: helping organizations—from development teams to the C-suite—take AI to market and make it deliver once it's there.
I'm also a serial tech entrepreneur, AI practitioner, and speaker who has had the privilege of influencing thousands of professionals along the way. My work hasn't changed as much as it looks: it has always been about making powerful technology understandable, accountable, and worth the investment.

How I help
Strategy & go-to-market
Positioning, narrative, and the motion to take AI to market, grounded in what enterprise buyers actually decide on.
Adoption & implementation
Getting AI out of the pilot and into production: integration, change management, and the operational reality of running it at scale.
Governance & management
Operating AI responsibly: the policy, controls, and oversight an enterprise needs to deploy with confidence.
I'm a follower of Jesus, and it shapes how I work: integrity, service, and doing excellent work for his glory and delight.
Soli Deo gloria.
