Work With Me
I've spent 18+ years building data teams, platforms, and AI systems that survive contact with reality — as the founding technology hire, four times over. Today I lead a global data platform organization, and I write about what the AI economy actually costs when the conference-stage version meets a production budget.
If you're making decisions right now about AI spend, data strategy, or the team that carries both, that's the work I do with leadership teams.
Three ways in
Strategy Session
One focused working session. One hard question.
Pressure-test your AI cost model, your data platform roadmap, or your org design against someone who has built all three from zero. We work the actual problem on the call. You leave with a concrete plan and the reasoning behind it, not a deck.
Best for: a specific decision you need to get right in the next quarter.
Ongoing Advisory
A standing seat at your leadership table.
Monthly advisory for executive and data leadership teams. AI spend governance, vendor and build-vs-buy calls, data organization design, and a straight answer when the industry narrative changes again. I keep a small number of these seats so each one gets real attention.
Best for: leadership teams making AI and data bets they'll live with for years.
Fractional Data Leadership
The function built, not described.
Embedded engagement for companies that need the data platform and the team stood up properly. I've been the founding technology hire four times: build the platform, hire the right people into the right spots, and hand it off working.
Best for: companies between “we need data” and “we can afford a full-time VP.”
How I think
Before you reach out, read how I approach the AI economy. If these land, we'll work well together.

Tell me what you're working through and where it hurts. I read every message, and I'll tell you honestly if I'm not the right fit.
