Senior Director of Analytics · Certified Chief Data Officer
I lead enterprise data and AI for a national healthcare organization, and I own both halves of the AI problem: the governance framework and the business enablement push. Guardrails and adoption come from the same desk, which is the only arrangement I have seen actually work.
I keep this profile because I think data and AI leaders should work the way engineering teams work. Version control, review, reproducibility. A governance policy that cannot be diffed is just an opinion, and a metric nobody can trace back to a query is just a number on a slide.
Working on: enterprise AI governance and responsible adoption · AI business enablement past the pilot stage · modern data platform and lakehouse architecture · self-service BI that people actually use · data as a product, with customers and revenue attached
