Experience

1. Chief Executive Officer

   V Squared Ai

   Apr 2012 — Present · Reno, NV, US

   One of the first pure-play data and AI consulting firms in the world. Since 2012, V Squared has focused exclusively on one problem: helping enterprises monetize data and AI instead of just experimenting with it.Our clients (including Airbus, Siemens, Walmart, JPMC, SLB, and over 20 SMEs) trust us because we operate at the intersection most firms can\'t reach. We connect AI technical strategy to commercial outcomes across product delivery, platform economics, and organizational transformation.That work has delivered over $4 billion in value and produced the 26 proprietary frameworks that now form the foundation of my certification courses at datascience.vin. Every framework was built to solve a real problem inside a real enterprise, not in a classroom.Core practice areas:AI Product Strategy & DeliveryAI Monetization & Platform EconomicsOrganizational AI Readiness & Transformation
