As an AI Evangelist for the public sector at Microsoft and a strategic advisor, my career has spanned a diverse range of roles – from entrepreneurial endeavors to leadership positions in large corporations like Microsoft, from consultant to CTO. This varied experience has honed my approach to technology: consistently curious, deeply business-oriented, and always centered around people. My focus is on leveraging technology not just for innovation, but for its capacity to empower individuals and communities.

I love end-users. I feel deep empathy for end-users who are eager to do more to serve a worthy mission, while often working with less. Less time than yesterday. Less money than last year. Fewer resources than ever. Sound familiar? Bring me a cumbersome, and siloed process that slows down your team and let's reimagine it with modern, mobile and collaborative apps. Your team will thank you and their work will impress you. So much more can be done with the right tools!
