About

Where AI strategy meets operational reality

I sit at the intersection of AI adoption, change management, and enterprise program delivery. My work is about the human side of transformation — helping organizations move past pilot fatigue and resistance to sustained, measurable AI-enabled operating models.

CPMAI certified by PMI and trained in AI for Leaders at Harvard Business School, I bring both the strategic framework and the operational discipline to deliver AI programs that actually stick.

Six Sigma Black Belt rigor shapes how I define metrics, measure behavioral change, and demonstrate real business impact — not just technology deployment.
