AI Services

Welcome to my profile! With over 15 years of experience at the intersection of AI, leadership, and HR, I specialize in helping organizations navigate complex transformations and build systems that truly work for humans. My journey includes leading HR transformation efforts at GE Vernova and GE Power, where I developed global upskilling frameworks and applied AI tools to enhance HR operations. As a Strategic Advisor, I now focus on empowering leaders to achieve clarity, make better decisions, and design systems that support real progress. Whether you're looking to scale your organization, integrate AI effectively, or create a more human-centric workplace, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and explore how I can support your strategic goals!

If your team loses hours every week to the same reports, inbox sorting, data pulls, or follow-ups, I'll build the automation that takes it over. This is for small business owners, solo operators, and team leads who want the work done, not a course. Each engagement is a scoped project with a fixed deliverable. First we find the one workflow costing you the most time. Then I build it with you or for you, and we measure success in hours returned. Examples of what I build: - a monitor that tracks a market and sends you a daily summary - inbox triage that sorts messages and drafts replies - a recurring report that refreshes itself I built versions of these for my own team at LinkedIn, and I run my own AI agent daily. I build with Claude Code and n8n, and I work inside what your team already uses, including Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Gemini. You'll leave with: - a working automation - documentation your team can follow - a short list of the next workflows worth automating

I served as Value Creation Lead and AI Deployment Strategist at Beamery, a venture-backed AI startup, where I pioneered a first-to-market Task Intelligence product that identified 30% AI augmentation potential across enterprise functions and generated 10x contract expansion with clients in financial services, life sciences, and manufacturing. I now lead Global Customer Strategy at Workday, where AI-driven product strategy sits at the center of how we plan customer deployments. I coach professionals targeting AI strategy and AI-adjacent customer strategy roles. My angle is practical: how these roles actually get filled, what hiring managers want in non-technical AI hires, and how to position a non-traditional background as a strength.

I created UpLeveled to make it easier to practice the tough conversations that are hard to teach in a class or presentation. There are endless situations to practice, different approaches to coaching them, and no single "right" way to teach these skills. I designed UpLeveled so coaches and experts can create AI role-play experiences customized to their own coaching model, brand, niche, and industry. If you have expertise you want your clients to practice - not just learn about - I can help you turn it into an interactive AI role-play experience.

An area of particular interest to me is using AI for productivity gains. In other words, looking for ways to buy some time back for yourself or your teams so you can use your own time more intentionally. This is especially helpful in an HR role where there might be a lot of manual and administrative tasks that AI can help with. Additionally, AI can also be tremendously helpful on your career growth journey - whether that's creating and tailoring a resume, practicing interview questions, setting career goals and finding what excites you, etc. Whether you're just starting out your AI journey or looking for some ideas on how to use it, I'm here to help!

I coach founders, executives, and team leads who know AI matters but don’t have time to “figure it out” on their own. My clients are often running service-based or mission-driven businesses that are growing faster than their systems—too many manual processes, scattered tools, and a sense that they’re not fully leveraging the data and talent they already have. They’re not looking for another shiny tool; they want a trusted partner who can translate AI into clear use cases, better workflows, and measurable results for their team and customers. I’m qualified to coach in this space because I’ve done this work inside real organizations, not just in theory. I’ve helped companies like Final Draft, The Shiftly, and DC Design identify high-impact AI opportunities, redesign their processes, and implement automations that actually stick. My background blends AI systems engineering, management consulting, and hands-on build work—so I can move comfortably from big-picture strategy to detailed implementation. That mix of strategic insight and technical depth lets me guide leaders through AI decisions with confidence, clarity, and a focus on outcomes that matter.

I help businesses implement AI to achieve business outcomes like generating more leads, increasing revenue, decreasing cost, saving time, and leaving the redundant work to the technology where it can shine and do it better than humans. I'm also the brand ambassador for n8n, an AI automation platform, and spread the word about how businesses can utilize tools like n8n to make their life easier. My professional journey spans strategic roles at companies like Capital One and cure.fit, where I honed my skills in finance and strategy. As an AI for Business coach, I've successfully guided 5 clients in leveraging AI to transform their business operations and drive growth. Let's work together to harness the power of AI for your business success. Reach out to start your journey today!

I help leaders and teams move from AI experimentation to real organizational transformation. Over the last several years, I’ve worked at the intersection of product leadership, enterprise transformation, and applied AI. Most recently, I’ve been leading product and transformation work on a large-scale Agentic AI initiative at a large Agritech Enterprise, helping design and operationalize an AI-powered employee support platform that integrates across IT, HR, procurement, finance, and enterprise systems. My work goes beyond implementing AI features. I help organizations rethink workflows, service delivery, operating models, and employee experiences in a world where AI agents become digital collaborators. This includes defining AI strategy, identifying high-value use cases, designing human-in-the-loop systems, improving adoption, aligning stakeholders, and translating complex technical concepts into practical business outcomes. Before this, I spent ~15 years in product leadership across startups and enterprise environments, including serving as Chief Product Officer at multiple companies and founding a VC-backed AI startup. I’ve worked hands-on with AI product strategy, conversational UX, workflow automation, retrieval systems, agentic architectures, and enterprise integrations long before AI became mainstream. What clients typically value most about working with me is the combination of: * Deep technical and product understanding * Executive-level strategic thinking * Strong facilitation and communication skills * Practical experience implementing AI inside complex organizations * A highly human-centered approach to transformation and change management I work particularly well with founders, product leaders, innovation teams, and enterprise executives trying to navigate questions like: * Where should we apply AI in our organization? * How do we move from pilots to production? * How should AI change our workflows and operating model? * How do we design AI experiences people actually trust and adopt? * What does “agentic AI” realistically mean for our business? * How do we balance speed, risk, governance, and transformation? My coaching style is practical, strategic, collaborative, and grounded in real implementation experience rather than hype.

Most leaders know AI is reshaping how work gets done. Fewer know how to position themselves and their teams to lead confidently in that shift. My coaching helps leaders build practical AI fluency: how to use AI to communicate more effectively, make faster decisions, scale their thinking, and lead without getting lost in the technology. What makes this different: I don't just coach it, I've built it. The Zaradigm AI Practice Lab (zaradigm.com/ai-practice-lab) gives leaders AI-powered tools to practice real leadership scenarios between coaching sessions. This AI solution is built on actual methodology, not generic prompts. I've also automated business workflows, built AI-driven content and communication systems, and helped leaders integrate AI into how they operate and show up. If you want a thought partner who has done the work and can help you do the same, this is the right coaching.
