02 — Who I am

Leadership at the intersection of engineering, product, and outcome.

I'm a global AI and technology executive with 20+ years leading enterprise-scale transformation and Enterprise AI portfolios across financial services, healthtech, and large infrastructure environments. I've been scaling AI solutions for more than 15 years, and have spent the last five building and deploying GenAI platforms responsibly at scale.

I've built and led global teams of 1,000+, operated across the U.S., India, Israel, and Europe, and driven impact at companies like Fidelity, Align Technology, and AT&T. My leadership style is rooted in partnership, education, and trust — I lead by bringing people along, not pushing change onto them.

My work sits at the intersection of deep engineering, product thinking, and business outcomes: defining enterprise AI strategy, leading large-scale AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI platform rollouts, and embedding Responsible AI governance into how organizations actually operate — delivering over $2B in combined revenue impact, cost savings, and retention.
