About

In my current role as Senior Manager, Data Science & AI, I lead AI transformation across product and organizational functions, building capabilities from zero to enterprise-wide adoption with measurable business impact across cost savings, revenue generation, and customer retention. I bring 16+ years of expertise in building product capabilities, generative AI systems, and data platforms. I've built the company's first AI team from concept to strategic expansion, architecting multi-agent systems, MCP server infrastructure, and agentic platforms that transform how teams work and customers experience products. I lead cross-functional AI strategy, co-architecting roadmaps with Product and Engineering leadership to deliver features that protect revenue through retention and create new revenue streams. My work spans building AI Services platforms enabling cross-product adoption, establishing data governance practices, and driving organizational AI maturity. I've built and scaled high-performing multi-disciplinary teams across MLOps, Data Engineering, Software Development, and Data Science. Passionate about talent development—I've developed multiple team members from junior to senior roles and mentor early-career professionals across the organization. I serve as the organizational AI catalyst, running enablement programs that achieved 80% AI adoption in innovation initiatives. Through weekly office hours and hands-on training, I've helped teams across functions leverage AI independently, building sustainable capability beyond individual expertise. What I do - • Champion AI initiatives from ideation to production with demonstrable business impact • Build and scale high-performing teams with culture of collaboration and innovation • Architect platform infrastructure that enables rapid development and cross-product adoption • Drive organizational transformation and influence product strategy through strategic enablement and executive partnership
