AI Strategy & Enablement Consultancy

Making organizations AI-capable by making their people AI-capable.

AI strategy, governance, and enablement for companies that want to own their AI future, not rent it.

The most powerful AI tool on the market is a $100K paperweight if your team isn't motivated to use it.

That gap between buying and building is where I come in, and where I leave you stronger than I found you.

About

Scientist turned AI strategist.

I started in analytical chemistry: mass spectrometry, EPA compliance, precision instrumentation at national labs. That background taught me to question assumptions, treat data with rigor, and never trust a result I can't verify.

I carried that into program management at Toyota Group, where I led multi-year product launches across global teams. Then into AI leadership at Vivacity Tech, where I built governance from scratch, trained 300+ employees, and delivered measurable outcomes.

Now I help other organizations do the same, and I leave them stronger when I go than when I arrived.

I build what I recommend.

TCO calculators, Python forensics, governance frameworks you can actually run.

Two-sided change management

I calm executives while I activate employees. Governance that moves work forward.

Operational sovereignty

My clients own their intelligence. No vendor lock-in, no black boxes, no dependency.

Scientific rigor

I bring the same discipline from the lab to business problems. Data doesn't lie if you ask it the right questions.
