Transformational Technology Executive · AI Strategy · Enterprise Modernization
Prepared for Teksystems · July 2026
A technology executive with a rare dual foundation: 15 years in Enterprise Content Management (ECM) managing unstructured data, document and records management, and complex configuration management for nuclear power plants and the Space Shuttle program — followed by a deep, accelerated dive into Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, and cloud-native technologies. This combination is exceptionally relevant today: the fundamental prerequisite for successful AI is structured, governed, high-quality data — and that is precisely the discipline I have spent my career mastering.
Complex configuration management for nuclear power plants
Records & document management for the Space Shuttle program
15 years structuring unstructured enterprise data at scale
Every organization implementing AI hits the same wall: their data is unstructured, ungoverned, and unreliable. LLMs hallucinate, RAG pipelines return noise, and AI initiatives stall — not because the models are weak, but because the underlying content is chaotic. I spent 15 years solving exactly this problem in the most high-stakes environments imaginable. I know how to classify, govern, structure, and retrieve information with the rigor that nuclear and aerospace demand. That same discipline is the foundation every successful AI strategy needs.

The organizations winning with AI aren't the ones with the best models — they're the ones with the best data foundations. My career began by structuring the unstructured: managing records for nuclear power plants and the Space Shuttle program, where a single misclassified document could be catastrophic. That same rigor — classification, governance, lifecycle management, retrieval accuracy — is exactly what enterprise AI initiatives need today. Combined with 31 AI certifications, executive leadership training from Harvard, and deep Red Hat cloud-native expertise, I bring a rare bridge between foundational data discipline and cutting-edge AI execution.
