In my experience the biggest challenges to success with AI aren’t technical, but human. I’m an executive with a deep understanding of digital technology and I help organizations to use data and AI effectively. I’m known for my innovative thinking, linking business and technology, and my compassionate leadership. I am passionate about creating company cultures where data-driven teams can excel.
