I partner with business, technology, and risk leaders to build scalable AI capabilities with the governance frameworks and operating models that regulated industries require.My edge: Strategy • Technology • PsychologyMost AI transformations fail not from technical limitations, but from underestimating the human dimension. I use ADKAR-based change management with technical governance to drive value realization, not just deployment.What I bring: 20+ years leading AI strategy, product development, and digital transformation across insurance, financial services, and healthcare. I\'ve built AI functions from scratch, established governance programs, and scaled adoption across Fortune 500 enterprises—balancing innovation with responsibility.Thought leadership: Author of Bridging Traditional Analytics with AI: A Practical Guide (International Institute for Analytics). I publish Human-Centric AI Leadership on Substack, lead the Columbus Career + AI Community, and speak on responsible AI adoption in regulated industries.Let\'s connect if: You\'re leading AI transformation, building AI governance programs, or hiring senior AI strategy and product leaders.
