As the Chief AI Sherpa at Quantum Crow Holdings, I rely on two decades of technology leadership to steer a variety of interests that converge on our path of AI and quantum computing’s impact on the Future of Work. My history was marked by meaningful opportunities. I launched Ford Credit’s first online lending platform and then helped develop the initial routing technologies used in Microsoft Teams. I led 20 strategic M&A integrations and was responsible for 400 product launches and 8,000 customer betas. As companies evolved, I generated $1.5 billion in documented financial impact through operational improvements. My global leadership encompassed teams across 15 countries, leading to the opportunity to build operations from scratch in China and Ireland. I was fortunate with a broad range of experiences, but at my core remained a consistent guiding principle: a profound belief in the power of people. This focus, coupled with real-world experience driving significant change, led to my current portfolio of responsibilities as the Chief AI Sherpa of Quantum Crow Holdings. At Quantum Crow Media, I educate and inspire while bringing the Light to AI and guiding humanity toward unprecedented growth and innovation. I'm a sought-after speaker, gracing keynotes, podcasts, and industry panels where my honest, thoughtful truth about AI’s impact resonates deeply. As the author of "AI and the New Oz"👠 (Amazon’s #1 New Release in 7 categories) and on dozens of stages since its release, I elevate leaders and prepare them for the changes we face with human-machine interaction, fostering a future where technology enhances human connection. My consulting via Quantum Crow Advisory strengthens Boards, Founders, and their Executive Teams as they navigate the complexities of AI strategy and governance. I’m a trusted advisor for launching, executing, and sustaining technology products, assembling the right tools and talent to drive innovation. My current investment strategy at Quantum Crow Ventures is focused on transformative and disruptive technologies in AI infrastructure. In addition to capital, portfolio companies benefit from my extensive network, deep industry insights, and hands-on approach to growth. My rural upbringing instilled a profound curiosity about diverse cultures and human experiences, which now informs my approach to leadership and AI adaptation. My work is not just about implementing technology; it’s about connecting people, creating inclusive environments, and empowering individuals to contribute to our shared future... as we elevate humanity.✨
