Find the leverage
I map how the work actually happens, then pinpoint the workflows where AI removes real hours instead of adding novelty — and the ones where it shouldn’t be anywhere near.
In the org
Most AI initiatives stall at the demo. I close the gap between “impressive” and “in production” — finding the high-leverage workflows, building the tooling, and bringing the team along so the change sticks after I leave.
Three ways I move AI adoption from slideware to shipped.
I map how the work actually happens, then pinpoint the workflows where AI removes real hours instead of adding novelty — and the ones where it shouldn’t be anywhere near.
Prompts, assistants, MCP servers, internal apps, and pipelines — built end to end and wired into the systems people already use, so the win shows up in the daily workflow, not a sandbox.
Hands-on training, patterns, and guardrails that turn “the AI person” into an org-wide capability. The goal is a team that keeps shipping with AI without me in the room.
A bias for shipping, measured against the work — not the hype.
Shadow the real process first. The question is never “where can we use AI?” but “where is the work slow, error-prone, or repetitive enough to be worth it?”
Get something real in front of real users in the first weeks. A working slice beats a strategy deck for learning what actually helps.
Define the before/after metric up front — time, throughput, quality, cost — and track it, so adoption rests on evidence rather than vibes.
Document the patterns, train the team, and set the guardrails. Success is measured by what keeps running once I’m gone.
