Enterprise AI transformation
Executive · Strategist · Advisor
I build new capabilities where strategy, technology, and organizational change meet.
I began my career at the height of the internet revolution and returned to Carnegie Mellon at the heart of the AI revolution. Across the internet, digital, and AI waves, my work has followed the same pattern: make change understandable, make it concrete, and equip organizations to act.
AI Transformation Leadership · Board & Executive Advisory
After more than a decade of enterprise leadership, I joined the inaugural MS in AI Systems Management cohort to work directly with agents, retrieval, evaluation, monitoring, and responsible-AI patterns.
Carnegie Mellon University · Applied AI
At Carnegie Mellon, I moved from leading enterprise transformation to building agents, retrieval systems, evaluation frameworks, and real-time monitoring pipelines firsthand. That combination—executive business judgment and technical fluency—is rare.
How can agents negotiate and act autonomously while keeping budget authority and consequential decisions reviewable by people?
An LLM-driven negotiation simulator with human approval gates, hard-budget controls, and an auditable decision trail.
What does it take to make generative-AI research outputs traceable enough for a skeptical user to trust?
A portal over a 30-paper corpus with a 25-query evaluation suite and a validator designed to flag fabricated citations.
How should teams detect drift, preserve an audit trail, and understand model behavior after a system begins receiving live data?
A streaming ML graduate project exploring experiment tracking, drift monitoring, observability, rollback, and model-lifecycle patterns.
Leadership through consequential change
Across business, government, and enterprise technology, I have worked where the path forward was not yet obvious—shaping shared language, building new capabilities, and helping organizations act through change.
Advisory Council, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government · 2019–2023
Served on the Advisory Council of a center working at the intersection of public policy and private enterprise. Council meetings and events brought together leaders across government, business, economics, and technology.
As a Senior Director in Business Value Services, I worked with the cross-functional Agentforce go-to-market team during incubation to translate a new technical category into business language the global field organization could use.
Appointed to a newly created executive role at Turkey's largest industrial company, I built a department spanning Strategic Planning, Investor Relations, and Insurance amid macroeconomic instability, political uncertainty, and geopolitical disruption across energy markets.
At Koç Group, I experienced digital transformation from the executive side—seeing firsthand what it takes to translate new technology into organizational capability and adoption.
Career depth and governance
Before Agentforce and the current AI work, I had already built new functions, led cross-border due diligences, advised through structural shifts, and worked across markets where trust was part of the operating system.
Studio practice
200+ original works. Painting is where I practice sustained attention, judgment, and synthesis. It is not a second résumé. It is the discipline that keeps the rest of the work alive.
