People
AI should elevate human capability, not replace it.
That belief guides everything I do. If a tool makes the people smaller, it is the wrong tool or the wrong use of it.
Human-Centered AIAdvisor & Builder
Use AI to create capacity. Use that capacity to lead.
The most valuable thing AI can give us is more room to be human.
I've spent my career, from Accenture to the United Nations and USAA, learning how to make technology actually pay off. The tools keep changing. The hard questions don't.
What needs to improve?
How will people's work change?
What will it take to make that change stick?
Transformation starts and ends with people. That's where I start.
“I did what you told me post-presentation and I found one thing to start working with AI on. That alone saved me several hours.”

From the stage
The artifact wasn't the value. The capacity was.
That’s what the RTEs in a packed room revealed about time and leadership. At the 2026 SAFe & AI Summit in San Diego, I asked them where their time really goes. 112 people answered, and the top two were PI Planning prep and communications follow-ups, the kind of work AI can now take on. The bigger question is what we do with the time it gives back.
What I've built
I teach. I build.
Every tool here is a solution to a problem I was trying to solve. When I couldn't find anything off the shelf that fit, I built it.
Building AIQ Native let me turn a question about individual AI practice into an assessment people can try for themselves. The AI Readiness Compass takes an organizational view, bringing leadership, workforce, workflows, technology, and governance into the conversation.
I taught myself to build these apps with AI. The tools are part of my practice: a way to work through an idea and put something usable in other people’s hands.
My Approach
A few things that guide me
Change
AI transformation is human transformation.
Tools alone don't transform anything. Alignment, capability and trust decide whether the work actually changes.
Thinking
Ask AI to challenge you, not just answer you.
A first answer is something to work with. I ask for another perspective, look for weak reasoning, and decide what holds up.
