About

I work where emerging technology becomes operationally unavoidable before institutions — or the people inside them — know how to absorb it. That gap, between what a new capability can do and what we can actually take in, is where my work has always lived.

For more than three decades I’ve been accountable for complex systems end to end — the whole arc, from framing the problem to making the change actually stick. I founded Deloitte Digital before “digital transformation” became corporate orthodoxy. I built an 18-company broadcast roll-up that later entered the public markets. I designed distributed-intelligence systems years before AI became mainstream enterprise conversation, accumulating patents in intelligent systems, orchestration, and machine coordination along the way.

What all of it taught me is that transformative technology rarely fails at the build. It fails in the last stretch — at integration, at adoption, at the point where human accountability begins. That is the terrain I keep returning to.

I write about it through two lenses. Forward Tense takes the institutional view — agentic AI, governance, trust, and enterprise adoption. Fewer Secrets takes the personal one — what it is to stay recognizable to yourself as the ground shifts. Signals is where I show what I’m building along the way.

I am less interested in predicting the future than in understanding what happens when it arrives unevenly, inside real organizations and real lives.
