Author, AI Strategist @ Cortado Group

About

Distinguished Innovation Fellow at Cortado Group, a go-to-market consulting firm. I've spent 45+ years in software engineering and tech leadership — and the last several deep in applied AI, from ML-powered systems to LLM deployments. I'm the author of AI-Powered Growth and spend most of my time translating AI strategy into things companies can actually execute. I build tools, write frameworks, and have strong opinions about what AI actually does to organizations (hint: it exposes what was already broken).
