I build data teams, turn AI into business results, and write about what works.
I’m a data and AI leader and the author of three books on leadership, AI execution and career growth. Most of my writing comes from the problems that appear after the strategy deck is finished and real people have to make the work succeed.
Three books for the parts of work nobody teaches very well.
The Data-Driven Executive
For data and analytics leaders moving beyond technical authority into executive influence, team leadership, strategy and organizational decision-making.
AI to ROI for Business Leaders
A practical case study on taking AI from the original business problem through data readiness, pilots, production, adoption and measurable value.
The Lost Map to Your Career
A practical guide to visibility, managing up, workplace relationships, office politics, promotions and the career lessons people often learn late.
What readers are saying.
“I have read career books before, but none have hit me quite like this one. This is book you carry with you into every big decision you make about your career.”

“It’s rare to find a career book that balances empathy with actionable advice. Sharp, honest, and incredibly empowering.”

“Each chapter ends with an insight, which I appreciated. The coworker ‘Chad’ was relatable and ironic for me. It felt personal.”
