AI Strategy & Enablement Consultancy

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

AI strategy, governance, and enablement built so your team can run it without me.

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

Buying the tool is usually the straightforward part. Deciding where it belongs, getting people to use it, and putting enough structure around it to scale safely takes more work. That's where I come in.

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.

I work both sides of adoption.

Leadership needs enough structure to make good decisions. Employees need enough context and practice to actually change how they work. I work with both.

No dependency by design.

Your team gets the framework, documentation, training, and internal ownership needed to keep going after I leave. The engagement should leave you more capable of running this on your own.

Scientific rigor

I bring the same discipline from the lab to business problems: question the assumptions, trace the inputs, and verify the result.
