Boardroom-Grade Outcomes

What CXOs engage me for when the board, the P&L, and the career are all on the line. Battle-tested conviction forged on Wall Street trading floors, in $6B+ supply chain command centers, and inside global semiconductor fabs.

📈

Enterprise Value Acceleration

The highest-leverage move a board can make pre-M&A or IPO. Embed agentic AI and autonomous operations into the P&L in the 12-24 months before a strategic transaction — transforming a legacy operator into an AI-native platform that commands a 2-3x EBITDA multiple at exit.

Autonomous Cost Takeout

Agentic automation across supply chain, procurement, and back-office operations — battle-tested at $6B+ retail scale. $200M+ in recurring EBITDA impact dropping straight to the bottom line, compounding quarter after quarter.

Mission-Critical Infrastructure

Production-grade platforms engineered to Wall Street and national payment-rail standards. From Zelle® to Authentify® — systems processing $1T+ annually that never go down, never lose a transaction, and never lose a regulator’s trust.

Deep Tech Moat Creation

Turn proprietary data, domain expertise, and agentic AI into a competitive moat rivals cannot replicate. The difference between a company that uses AI and one that is built on it — the valuation premium investors pay for defensibility.

AI Across the Entire Enterprise — Not in Pockets

Most companies deploy AI in three or four places and then wonder why the P&L doesn't move. I architect AI across every function that touches enterprise value — with a clear thesis for each, and a measurable line back to the board.

Pilots don't move EV. Operating models do.
