About

I’m an AI Solutions Strategist and Entrepreneur with 20+ years spanning enterprise transformation and startup prototyping. From helping Fortune 500s save $100M+ at KPMG to building Superfan Studio (1,000+ AR/VR/AI campaigns, 56B+ impressions, partners: Meta, Snap, TikTok, YouTube), I’ve spent my career turning emerging tech into measurable business outcomes. Currently, I’m bootstrapping my second venture, PYC AI — building AI Employees for SMBs. Think domain-specific agents for sales, marketing, support, and ops with guardrails, analytics, and deployment in days. One of our flagship solutions: AI Call Center agents for inbound, outbound, scheduling, and follow-ups — already reducing AHT, boosting CSAT, and scaling customer engagement. Alongside building, I’m available for consulting and contracting (40 hrs/week) to help organizations adopt AI, manage change, and prototype rapidly. I also offer AI coaching to upskill teams and leaders navigating this transformation. I bring the energy of a builder, the rigor of a program leader, and the perspective of a founder. Whether scaling ops, architecting AI workflows, or guiding change management, I specialize in moving from vision → prototype → adoption quickly and effectively.
