Market- and growth-oriented global technology leader focused on digital transformation and AI adoption
Empowering organizations through strategic vision, innovative leadership, and actionable insights that drive meaningful change and sustainable success.
I've spent my career at the intersection of technology and business, helping leaders navigate both the possibilities technology offers and the practicalities of executing successfully.
I've worked with hundreds of organizations on their most significant technology shifts: AI adoption consulting, modernizing applications, developing cloud strategy, and unlocking the full value of data and analytics.
I've led global teams for household-name companies like Dell Technologies and NTT DATA, built and scaled cloud, data, and AI service practices from the ground up, and partnered with clients ranging from mid-market innovators to global enterprises. Along the way, I've learned that the real challenge isn't the technology—it's leading people through change and ensuring every investment delivers measurable results.
Today, as founder of Evaila, I work with executives to cut through the hype and build practical, people-first AI adoption strategies. My approach blends strategic vision with the operational know-how to make it stick.
I speak regularly at industry events as a technology keynote speaker, contribute to publications like CIO Magazine and Information Week, and share my insights on where technology is headed—and how leaders can get there with confidence.
I'm also an advocate for 22q Deletion Syndrome awareness, having served eight years on the board of 22Q Texas. Outside of work, I love discovering new places, getting lost in a good book, and enjoying time with my family in Austin, Texas.
