## Headline

AI & Automation Product Leader \| Scaling Agentic AI Across Enterprise Accounts \| Driving Efficiency Gains via Governance & Product Strategy

## About

I help enterprises turn AI pilots into products that actually run at scale\. Over 17\+ years in product and program leadership, I've moved from infrastructure operations to owning the vision, governance, and rollout of Agentic AI and intelligent automation platforms — the unglamorous work that decides whether AI initiatives survive contact with real operations\. What that's looked like in practice: scaling automation and Agentic AI adoption across 30\+ accounts in 12 domains, cutting process cycle time 20\-30% through governance models built from scratch, and reducing operational costs 22% by running maturity assessments across infrastructure landscapes most teams treat as too messy to touch\. I've sat in 45\+ customer workshops translating what stakeholders actually need into roadmaps their teams can execute — not just decks that sound good in a steering committee\. My edge isn't the technology\. It's the operating model around it — governance frameworks, adoption playbooks, and value realization models that get AI out of proof\-of\-concept purgatory and into daily use by 100\+ customers\. I'm now focused on product leadership where I can own strategy end\-to\-end for AI\-driven platforms — from vision through enterprise\-wide adoption — at a scale where the governance question isn't "how do we pilot this" but "how do we run this everywhere, reliably\.
