About

The professor
who's also been in the room

I've been a professor. A Fortune 500 executive. A military officer. An AI entrepreneur who built and sold a company and holds a patent for an AI innovation. That combination isn't common — and it's exactly what makes my perspective on leadership and careers in the AI era different.

I don't just study the AI era. I've helped build it, led inside it, and now I teach others how to navigate it — from freshman business students to executive MBA candidates, PhD students to C-suite leaders.
