Background
Transformation and modernization leader with 20+ years of experience helping complex institutions turn technological change into strategy, governance, operating models, and execution. My work spans aviation modernization, enterprise AI adoption, mission AI enablement, infrastructure initiatives, and regulated federal environments where coordination, ownership, and decision discipline matter as much as technology. I’m strongest in roles that connect strategy to implementation: governance architecture, program integration, adoption pathways, executive decision support, and modernization efforts that have to work inside real institutional constraints.
