Strategic AI Implementation Expertise

Most executives understand AI’s potential but struggle with practical implementation. I’ve spent 25+ years solving this exact challenge—transforming breakthrough technologies into competitive business advantages.

As Managing Director of RTI Innovation Advisors, I built and scaled a 60-person innovation consultancy, doubling both team size and revenue from $5M to $12M. I know the daily pressures you face because I’ve lived them—managing P&L responsibility, leading cross-functional teams, and delivering results while navigating constant change and competition.

My strategic leadership approach bridges the gap others can’t: combining deep technical expertise (PhD in engineering, former CTO) with proven business execution. I’ve successfully led digital transformations at Fortune 100 companies and growth-stage businesses, including leading RTI Innovation Advisors’ three-year AI transformation—transitioning our entire team to strategically integrate AI into client workflows, dramatically enhancing value delivery and competitive positioning.

What makes my AI implementation different:

✓ Strategic mindset with tactical execution – I’ve been both strategist and operator
✓ SMB reality focus – Fortune 1000 methodologies adapted for mid-market constraints
✓ Change leadership experience – Successfully upskilled technical teams through major technology transitions
✓ Proven growth track record – Built multiple million-dollar business units from concept to commercialization
✓ Innovation pedigree – 15+ years transforming R&D breakthroughs into market-ready solutions

I don’t just teach AI tools—I help you become the strategic leader who drives your organization’s competitive transformation. My clients position themselves as forward-thinking executives who understand both the technology and the business strategy required to scale AI adoption across their teams.

The bottom line: While others offer generic AI training, I deliver strategic AI leadership coaching that transforms both your personal productivity and your ability to guide organizational change.
