In academia, I directed the XReality Research Lab at Texas State University, positioning it as a leader in Industry 4.0, and formed a spin-off company focused on Medical Response training innovations. I am a strong believer of leading by example, inspiring cross-functional and multi-cultural teams with an objective driven culture. ---AI Commercialization and Governance--- I have extensive expertise in cross-platform AI commercialization and in AI governance frameworks in Digital Health & Medicines.
