PRESENT / APPLIED AI & ML CONSULTING

Practice leadership and executive sponsorship.

I connect client advisory, technical direction, recruiting, staffing readiness, and delivery economics. I lead client expectation-setting and technical direction, partner with recruiting to assess specialist skills, and advise executive leadership on hiring and capacity using pipeline evidence. My architecture experience helps me challenge a plan without becoming the team’s daily implementation dependency.

I also build operating tools for the practice: Timesheet Compliance Automation and the AI Practice Opportunity Radar, both delivered in Microsoft Teams.
