AI Product and Strategy Leader driving multi-million dollar transformations at the intersection of business value and technical innovation. With deep expertise in GenAI, cloud architecture, and data platforms, I partner with C-suite executives to define AI strategies that deliver measurable ROI while building high-performance teams that execute at enterprise scale. My approach combines strategic vision with hands-on technical leadership.
