Welcome to my profile! I’m the Head of GMs at Leland and a former consultant at Boston Consulting Group. I work on growth and operations and spend much of my time building automation that removes manual work from our team’s day-to-day processes. At Leland, I built an AI-powered email pipeline that fully manages inbound messages. The system classifies emails, drafts replies, and routes them to the right teammates through Slack. I’ve also helped design automated sales workflows that support lead qualification and customer communication for our bootcamp business. My perspective comes from building these systems as a non-technical operator. If you’re a founder or business professional who wants to start using tools like Claude and workflow automation platforms to reduce manual work, I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned.

Seasoned strategy consultant and AI coach with over a decade of experience leading operational and systems transformations across U.S. government agencies, startups, and nonprofits. As a Wharton MBA and former international partnerships lead, I’ve spent my career helping teams work smarter by building better systems and processes. I’ve taught dozens of professionals how to integrate AI into their daily work, saving hours each week, improving communication, and creating measurable impact. My coaching blends strategy, structure, and hands-on learning to make AI practical, approachable, and directly tied to career growth.

i'm now coaching people on how to better maximize whatever AI-based tool they use -- helping you ask the right questions and get answers that matter: a few use cases on agentic design: • building an AI agent or designing Claude projects with the right context, using best practices to elevate your process and final output. • deep research: designing intelligent prompts, asking the right questions to get to the bottom of anything, whether it's a passion project or corporate forensics / due diligence -- then following up to make sure no stone goes unturned -- there are infinite permutations of what this might entail. i've helped 3 different businesses with this now, and about 15 real humans. it's been fun, in large part because it feels like building a dynamic skillset that's immediately testable and learn-from-able. it's also something, if you're actively investing yourself, that you ought to get good at yesterday. • life planning: whether you're charting out the next 3-5 years of your career, planning a wedding, or figuring out which direction to take your business, these thoughts cause head-fog. i help people figure out how to maximize these tools, so they're living better and working more productively. • single use cases: need to figure out how to navigate your state's health marketplace? building a personal budget? getting a vacation itinerary together? bring an idea, and we'll go. i'll also help you dig into sources, understand the limitations of what these tools can and can't do, and help you spot pitfalls in an AI tool's output so you know when and how to challenge your GPT of choice -- and integrate your own critical thinking to make sure it's as thorough and accurate as something you might research independently.

I spent 5 years at OpenAI (2016-2021) during the foundation of modern AI, followed by 3 years as Head of AI - Product Experience at Spotify, where I led teams building AI systems that served 500M+ users. I wasn't just using AI tools. I was in the rooms where architectural decisions were made about how humans and AI systems should interact at scale. That experience taught me something critical: the professionals who thrive in the AI era aren't the ones with the most tools, they're the ones who understand system architecture. After leaving Spotify, I transitioned to independent consulting and immediately hit the same wall my clients now face: tool chaos. I was paying $847/month across 15+ AI subscriptions, constantly context-switching, and seeing diminishing returns. So I applied the same systems thinking I used building products at OpenAI and Spotify to my own productivity stack. The result was the MAO Framework. A methodology that helped me consolidate to 6 core tools while tripling output. Since then, I've helped dozens of professionals (from Microsoft PMs to JPMorgan strategists) escape tool overwhelm and build AI productivity systems that compound rather than just consume budget. I teach what I've built, tested, and proven in my own consulting practice.

I am an AI Automation and Implementation expert and the lead curriculum developer for Leland's AI Builder Program. I have personally trained hundreds of people on AI. I can help you build an AI system in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini that will run your personal life and make you money in your business. I've trained groups of 100+ business professionals, MBA students, and job seekers on exactly what AI is, its strengths and weaknesses, and how to use it more powerfully. I know how to take this complex technology and simplify it to understandable concepts and actionable builds that will help you feel confident that you can master AI. Let me help you get caught up on AI and using it effectively today!

I have spent the last two years working directly in AI automation and agent systems across some of the most technically demanding environments out there. At Metis, a YC-backed company, I was the Chief of Staff where I benchmarked AI agent tools, designed end-to-end data pipelines for AI simulations, and led the onboarding of remote evaluators to support agent training workflows. At Uber AI and NVIDIA, I worked on human data pipelines and trained deep learning models that powered automated decision systems in production. I know what it actually takes to build, evaluate, and ship AI agent products, not just the theory. If you are trying to break into AI automation roles, land a job at an AI-native startup, or just figure out how to position your background for this space, I can help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters to hiring teams right now.
