About
Most speakers on AI either hype it or fear it. I do neither. I help your audience use it. I am not a theorist. I spent more than two decades leading teams inside Fortune 500 operations, and I build AI-powered software myself. So when I talk about adopting AI, I am speaking from practice, not slides.
