Building the Bridge Between Research and Business
I help companies navigate the complex landscape of AI, transforming high-level strategy into tangible business outcomes. With a background at Adobe and collaborations with Stanford and Oxford, I bring a unique blend of academic rigor and industry experience.
My Worldview
In the age of AI, the bottleneck is no longer technology — it's imagination and execution.
Context over Demos
A flashy demo doesn't solve a business problem. I focus on how AI fits into your unique operations.
Human-Centric Design
Systems are only as good as the people who use them. I design for seamless human-AI collaboration.
Iterative Excellence
Start small, prove value, and scale fast. I believe in rapid cycles of testing and learning.
