Welcome! This site is a passion project – a fully functional, live showcase of what’s possible when innovative use of AI meets practical application. It’s just the latest step in my 20 year journey as a business and technology leader dedicated to creating new ways of working by, securely and safely, leveraging the best of AI.

This site and AI Agents have been built by me using the latest techniques of using Generative AI as my co-pilot. It’s a real-world example of the AI-native business and technical strategy that I champion.

A Career of Building and Leading

My journey in AI didn't start yesterday. I was fortunate to be on the ground floor, supporting the architecture design team for the pioneering IBM Watson Jeopardy project. That experience solidified my belief in AI's power to solve complex problems and set the course for my career. Since then, I've focused on turning that potential into market reality.

  • Leading High-Impact Teams: At OpenText, I led global product management teams responsible for a portfolio of 10 major AI, Analytics, and Cyber Security product lines, delivering over $50M in annual revenue.
  • Driving Revenue Growth: I built and spearheaded a new sales division for a partner program, growing it from the ground up to $10M in annual revenue and managing a portfolio of 75 partners.
  • Launching Cloud-Native Products: I've defined and brought brand-new SaaS product to market, from the cloud-native AI product Risk Guard at OpenText to the AI Platform at Epiq Global for advanced eDiscovery.
  • Fostering Strategic Partnerships: I have a track record of building key alliances with industry leaders like Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, Chubb, and Salesforce to create differentiated, integrated solutions.
  • Enabling M&A Success: Owned the technical alignment planning for over $100,000,000 in acquisitions, including most recently the Epiq Global strategic acquisition of Laer which created a new AI-first eDiscovery product unit.

This showcase is the next chapter in that story. It's where I explore, build, and share my work as I reinvent myself as an "AI-Native" Product Manager, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
