## About

I'm the Head of AI (CAIO) at a major regional carrier. Over nearly 20 years, I went from software engineer to CTO to Chief AI Officer, with stops in UX engineering at AT&T, consulting at Hitachi, and executive roles leading IT, digital transformation, and AI. I learned what actually earns the promotion, and what quietly stalls a strong technologist's career.

Now I help engineers, leads, and managers make that same jump faster. Book me when you're stuck as the strong IC who can't break into leadership, prepping for a Director, VP, or CTO step up, stepping into a new executive role, or trying to figure out how to lead your team through AI.

You'll leave with a specific plan for your situation: how to position yourself, which gaps to close, and the exact next move. Senior perspective, straight talk, no filler.
