About Brian
I work where business problems become technology decisions. Over more than 15 years in consulting, I have helped organizations shape transformation plans, modernize analytics, establish governance, and lead delivery across teams.
My background combines business-facing leadership with enough technical depth to work through the design and delivery choices beneath a strategy. I have worked across sectors including financial services, manufacturing, energy, and consumer goods. The through-line is practical: understand the operation, clarify the decision, organize the people and work, and make the result useful.
AI is a big part of my work today. In consulting, I built and delivered an enablement program for AI-enabled analytics, with usage tracking to brief senior leadership on adoption. Independently, I designed, built, tested, and launched an order management app using AI-assisted development; it is now in use at a personal shopping business. Both experiences reinforce a business-first approach: choose a real need, keep human ownership clear, and learn from actual use. See the personal project
Looking ahead
Building lasting change from inside the business
I see my greatest opportunity for impact inside an organization, helping shape digital and AI priorities as part of its strategic and operational decisions. My delivery experience helps me weigh trade-offs, carry those choices into useful capability, and learn from how they work in practice.
