I build and run enterprise learning & talent technology ecosystems, integrating LMS, LXP, HRMS, Talent Systems, Assessments, and Content Platforms to make learning reliable, compliant, and measurable at scale.In my current and prior roles, I’ve owned end‑to‑end talent & learning platforms strategy and operations for global users, spanning platform architecture, vendor ecosystems, governance, and adoption in regulated environments (GxP, Data Privacy).My work sits at the intersection of learning, talent, technology, and change:1. Architecting integrated learning stacks (Percipio, Cornerstone, SumTotal, Gloat, Phenom People, SAP and adjacent HR technologies)2. Embedding analytics, skills frameworks, and outcome dashboards for leadership visibility3. Scaling digital studios and Dojo‑based simulations (including immersive and scenario‑led learning)4. Enabling adoption through structured change management (PROSCI®) and operating governanceI’m known for translating business capability needs into scalable, governed talent & learning platforms - not experiments - while influencing vendor roadmaps and ensuring audit‑ready execution.I thrive in roles where talent & learning technology is treated as a business‑critical platform, not a content warehouse.
