Driving Enterprise AI Transformation  ·  Board Advisor  ·  Author  ·  Birder


Twenty years in healthcare technology taught me how to lead through complexity: by scaling AI across 40,000 technologists, building organizations from the ground up, and turning big ideas into viable products. But it wasn't until agentic AI made the leap that I went back to writing code, and it has reminded me of the time I spent writing novels. Then, I created worlds with words. Now, I create apps with code. Two forms of creative output that stretch the imagination and keep me learning. Additionally, I advise the University of San Francisco on AI programs for working professionals and love getting outside whenever I can for birding. There's more below.
