About

Enterprise AI creates value only when data, governance, and product strategy work together—not when AI remains a prototype. For 20+ years, I’ve worked at the intersection of Product, Technology, Data, Cloud, AI, and enterprise transformation across retail, fintech, banking, and technology. At Walmart Global Tech, I’ve led the design and delivery of enterprise Data Management, Analytics, and AI platforms serving a 100,000+ person organisation. My focus is simple: turn complex technology into products that people adopt and businesses can measure. The results speak for themselves: → $47M in cost savings from a single platform transformation → 7x platform adoption and 4x data consumption growth in 3 years → 25% reduction in per-unit processing costs through LLM-powered query optimisation → 14% improvement in data quality across business-critical datasets → 40+ Product Managers and Engineers led across a global technology organisation Today, my work is centred on AI-native and agentic platforms—making enterprise data usable by LLMs, AI Agents, and agentic workflows through semantic layers, RAG, vector embeddings, data governance, lineage, quality, and observability. Before Walmart, at Trusting Social, I helped build a telecom-powered credit product from zero to market, generating $2M+ in new revenue and identifying a 550M+ lendable customer segment through large-scale cohort analytics. My point of view: the next generation of enterprise AI will not be won by models alone. It will be won by organisations that build the right data foundations, product thinking, governance, and operating models around them. I share practical perspectives on AI, GenAI, Agentic AI, enterprise data platforms, product strategy, and digital transformation for leaders building technology that works at scale. 📩 Follow me for practical insights—or connect with me if you're building AI and data platforms and want to exchange ideas on what it takes to move from experimentation to enterprise impact.
