Enterprise AI & Technology Executive · Raleigh-Durham, NC
I help organizations turn AI into durable business capability.
Vice President of Engineering, Jewelers Mutual · Constellation Research AI 150
Executive intent becomes durable capability through a system, not a project.
AI is not another technology wave. It is a shift in how organizations operate, decide, and create value.
The companies that succeed will not be the ones experimenting with the most models. They will be the ones that change how they work.
Resilience is not a checkbox, it is a mindset. Great engineering is not about avoiding risk, it is about knowing which risks you can afford to take.

Enterprise AI adoption Jewelers Mutual
I built the enterprise AI function for a century-old regulated insurer from the ground up: strategy, a decentralized operating model, and responsible-AI governance that let business teams move without waiting on a central queue. It scaled enterprise AI access from 7 to 356 users across 11 business units.

Agentic automation in production Jewelers Mutual
Designed a production agentic workflow that eliminated approximately 200 hours of manual work each month. It runs in a regulated environment on AWS, where explainability, evaluation, and ethical controls are engineering requirements rather than afterthoughts.

Production agents in regulated environments, with evaluation built in.
Emerging technology translated into investment, risk, and governance decisions.
I have spent my career in periods of transformation. Modernizing engineering organizations, rebuilding technology platforms, and helping executive teams navigate disruptive technology. Before Jewelers Mutual I led engineering, cloud infrastructure, and quality organizations at Pelago, SingleStore, and SAS, scaling global teams and carrying products from biannual releases to continuous delivery. Different industries, different technologies, but the same thread runs through all of it: technology becomes a competitive advantage when an organization changes how it works, not just what it buys.
The conversations I enjoy most are with leaders working through the same questions I work on every day: how to turn AI from a promising experiment into a real organizational capability.
If that is the conversation you are having, I would welcome hearing from you.
