that ship.
Twenty years of enterprise AI. Twenty-two patents. A quiet habit of shipping the hard thing.
Twenty years of enterprise AI. Twenty-two patents. A quiet habit of shipping the hard thing.
I help companies define and build the products that make them AI-first — without losing the plot on what their customers actually need.
Today I am VP of Product at Teradata, leading enterprise AI strategy and delivery for Global 10,000 clients across a multi-billion-dollar portfolio. Before that, fourteen years at IBM — Chief Data Officer, Head of IBM Research Singapore, Director of Product for AI on IBM Z, and a stretch inside IBM Automation running a billion-dollar portfolio.
I have filed twenty-two patents and learned that the most interesting ones come from a room full of researchers who disagree. I have shipped enterprise AI products that won iF Design and FinTech Futures awards, and a few that didn't — both taught me more than any book on strategy.
I also teach. Eighteen years as Adjunct Professor at NC State, a curriculum picked up by twenty-eight universities, and a long list of former students who now ship things of their own. Teaching is not a side project. It is the work.

A small collection of nods from the places that watch the work closely.
Academic research, industry essays, and the occasional long conversation about enterprise AI.
Embedded advisory starting August 2026. The same rigor I bring to multi-billion-dollar portfolios — hands-on, strategic, and designed to ship.
Embedded AI advisory for founders and executive teams. I have defined and shipped complete enterprise AI suites — Sovereign AI, Vector Stores, Agentic frameworks. I help you build the roadmap, evaluate build-vs-buy, and connect AI investments to measurable business outcomes.
From concept to market. I have launched AI products that earned iF Design and FinTech Futures Banking Tech awards, managed ecosystems with NVIDIA, AWS, Google, and Microsoft, and built GTM motions that drove real ARR growth. I help you do the same.
I have founded three ventures of my own — AI Impact Foundation (33 courses, 11 tracks), Reboot (burnout recovery for professionals), and Learn a Bad Word. I help founders go from idea to identity: brand strategy, positioning, content architecture, and launch.
