About Harvey Schaefer

I’m a technology leader who builds programs that help people work smarter with technology instead of just faster because of it. I work in the overlap of design, strategy, and systems, where messy problems start to show their shape and where clarity becomes something you can use.I’ve led AI adoption, large scale integrations, and digital transformation efforts that turn on human behavior more than the tools themselves. When new tech arrives and teams hesitate, I bridge the gap and help the organization find its footing.Innovation is almost never a technical problem. It is a problem of trust, language, and design.

   I lead the work that helps our organization understand, trust, and use new technology in ways that actually make the work better. Most of that lives in AI strategy, adoption, and the messy middle where human behavior collides with technical change. I build the programs, frameworks, and habits that let teams move from curiosity to real capability.A few things I’ve driven• Co developed and operationalized our enterprise AI strategy and the programs that support it• Built the enablement ecosystem around AI, from executive briefings to hands on training to agent development standards• Designed systems, metadata, and onboarding frameworks that make our internal AI agents consistent and usable• Shaped governance and responsible use practices with Legal and InfoSec so AI becomes safer, clearer, and easier to adopt• Helped leaders and teams translate abstract AI possibilities into real workflows that reduce friction and increase clarity
