Military officer. Cancer survivor. Data protection, insider threat, and cybersecurity executive. Enterprise AI operator.
I've led troops in combat, protected Fortune 500s from sophisticated threats, and watched $10M AI projects deliver zero ROI. These experiences taught me what really matters when the stakes are high: the technology is never the bottleneck—organizational capacity is.
Now I help C-suite executives navigate the collision between AI transformation and enterprise reality. Not with theory, but with frameworks forged through failure.
My research, including "The Implementation Paradox," draws on analysis of 47 enterprise AI deployments to answer the question that keeps executives up at night: Why does AI that works in the lab fail in the enterprise—and what can we do about it?
Served as an officer with experience leading troops in high-stakes environments where decisions have real consequences and failure is not an option.
Led data protection, insider threat, and cybersecurity programs for Fortune 500 organizations. Defended against sophisticated nation-state and criminal threats.
Hands-on experience deploying AI systems in enterprise environments. Analyzed 47 real-world implementations to understand what separates the 20% that succeed from the 80% that fail.
Developed four proprietary frameworks (ATLAS Model™, Agent Ladder™, SAFE Stack™, Three Loops™) for enterprise AI governance and implementation.
