About

Senior technology executive focused on AI strategy, digital transformation, and product innovation across global organizations and startup ventures. This is what a so-called Forward Deployed Engineer looks like these days. As Global Sales AI Director, I build and scale AI initiatives that apply Generative AI and Large Language Models to sales, pricing, and service operations where outcomes actually matter. I turn AI ambition into execution. I work across executives, data, and product teams to move from pilots to production through pragmatic roadmaps, governance that enables rather than blocks, and adoption that sticks. Alongside my executive role, I am a PhD candidate in Applied Generative AI, researching how advanced AI systems can improve decision-making and team performance in complex environments. I have co-founded AI startups, led transformations across healthcare, automotive, FMCG, and retail, and regularly teach and speak on AI and innovation. I care about AI that ships, scales, and gets used.
