AI & IT Leadership Strategist | Future of Work Advocate | Fitness Coach & Kettlebell Athlete

About

With nearly 18 years in IT delivery, customer success, and global operations, I’ve built and scaled cross-functional teams, led multi-million-dollar portfolios, and delivered double-digit growth for Fortune 500 clients. My career has been about converting delivery into a competitive advantage—whether it’s boosting margins, building global delivery centers, or driving digital transformation at scale. Today, I see a new frontier: AI as the next workforce. Just as cloud reshaped infrastructure, AI is redefining how IT delivery, operations, and leadership will work. Developers will evolve into AI Operators, team leads into Automation Foremen, and senior managers into AI Orchestrators & Strategists. My mission is to help organizations and professionals embrace this shift—turning AI from a buzzword into structured business impact. Currently, I: • Lead a 100+ member global delivery team and manage customer success for a Fortune 100 manufacturing giant. • Oversee staffing and governance for a 2,000+ FTE portfolio. • Align delivery with business outcomes through high-stakes negotiations and simplified execution in GCC environments. 🔸 What I do best • Scale teams and systems to meet aggressive growth targets. • Build strong executive relationships that unlock long-term value. • Deliver measurable business impact through structured governance. • Guide teams and leaders to adapt, integrate, and orchestrate AI in delivery & operations. Outside work, I’m a fitness coach and kettlebell athlete—disciplines that keep me grounded in consistency, resilience, and continuous growth. I believe the leaders of tomorrow will be those who can orchestrate humans + AI systems together—and I’m committed to being part of that transformation.
