I help founders and leaders build AI products that earn trust, scale responsibly, and keep humans in the loop.

AI, which I call Synthetic Agency (SA), is a great technology in the right context, is a harmful technology in the wrong context, and is a low ROI feature in most contexts.

I've built synthetic agency in products from the ground up, launched ventures in the field, performed academic research and contributed to think tanks, wrote The Ethics of AI, and advised 100+ leaders over the past 12 years.
I’ve learned that, while most people attribute failure modes to technicalities or talent, the true failure is philosophical.

The products that succeeded long term had teams who did not skip the hard questions. They built synthetic agency when they had to, not because they just could. They solved real problems by listening to their customers without chasing trends.

If you're working on AI, with AI or are figuring out how it impacts your work, and want to:
• Build something people actually want to use 
• Think through the ethical stuff without getting paralyzed
• Understand how your brand discovery and promotion should change with AI engines in town

I might be able to help.

I also write for 15,000 people on LinkedIn and for 3,000 on my newsletter about honest tips to make sense of this technological shift.

I'm also launching a monthly private newsletter. Invite-only. For Founders, CMOs, and Heads of Growth who need to control their brand voice in AI conversations (before it becomes too late or too expensive). DM me if you want to get an invite.

Manager, Strategy & Operations Consulting

Come join me on a journey towards a future of work where morals driven human can belong and lead for purpose. 

I am a 20 years seasoned corporate anomaly turned founder, a cultural change broker, and people champion dedicated to making work a platform for building purposeful lives, ultimately fueling a more purposeful society. 

I serve this vision with two startups focused on AI Readiness for both the individual and CEOs. 

I provide experiential learning in a community integrating both mid-career 40+ professionals and Gen Z who will be left behind in the AI era to apply AI to transform their careers, and stay future relevant while keeping their human meaning and purpose. 

I have a second startup to help CEOs assess, using an agentic platform, their AI Readiness across people, process, and technology for designing AI-augmented organizations that drive innovation, productivity, and human-centered business growth. 

My “prosperity-first” approach to AI prioritizes not only productivity but also growth while solving for human well-being, inclusivity, and innovation, enabling technology to enhance creativity, foster inclusive cultures, and unlock equitable opportunities.

As a trusted advisor and pioneer in the future of work and culture change space, I am a frequent keynote speaker at international conferences, offsites, and roundtables. As an advisor to AI and people domain tech startups, I guide on leveraging AI for enhancing human creativity, ethical AI implementation, closing opportunity gaps for marginalized communities through reskilling, and aligning technology’s potential with human-centered values. 

With expertise in people analytics, strategic foresight, AI, future-of-work, and community building, I bring a forward-thinking yet practical approach to integrating AI into organizational design, culture, leadership, and talent strategy. 

My career spans strategy consulting and industry roles across globally recognized brands, providing me with a holistic perspective on both business and social impact. 

I led a pioneering team at LinkedIn, developing insights that dispelled myths and empowered executives to make human-centered decisions amid technological and cultural shifts. 

With an MBA from Wharton in strategy and organizational effectiveness and a BASc in Mechanical Engineering (specializing in robotics) from the University of Toronto, I bridge the technical and human aspects of AI to help leaders thrive in this transformative era. 

Industries: Tech, Telco, Retail, CPG, and Energy | Markets: Worked across 5 continents.
