Experience

One career. Three institutional worlds.

  • Capital Markets

    Early equity research, banking, global M&A analytics, and institutional decision systems across markets.

  • Enterprise Data

    IBM, Accenture, and LSEG / Refinitiv — leading production analytics platforms and enterprise transformation.

  • Public-Sector AI

    GSA, FERC, the Federal AI Capability Maturity Model, and expert witness before the U.S. Congress.

“The model is only useful if the institution can trust how it was built.”
