  • Translating economic and technological capacity into operational effect through scenario‑driven decision systems

What I do

I lead adoption and institutional design for complex, high‑stakes programs, where technology, governance, and national or organizational interests intersect.

I’ve been trusted to translate uncertainty into durable operating models across defense, public‑sector, and regulated environments, drawing on mission‑critical military experience, finance and economics training, and hands‑on leadership of AI/data transformations and crisis response.

My work focuses on turning capacity into dependable action without sacrificing legitimacy, accountability, or strategic coherence.
