Twenty years where the stakes are high and the ambiguity is higher.

I've spent twenty years inside large, regulated organizations — building the programs, not just advising on them. Pharma-tech, compliance, enterprise delivery: I know where these things break and how to fix them.

At Eli Lilly, I built and now lead the company's global DSAR capability — platform governance, cross-functional alignment, end-to-end accountability. SAFe-certified PO and Scrum Master. I translate regulatory complexity into programs that ship and hold up under scrutiny.

Built and now leads Lilly's global DSAR capability end-to-end — platform governance, cross-functional alignment, delivery accountability.

Method

Agile delivery

SAFe-certified Product Owner and Scrum Master. I translate regulatory complexity into delivery — not just frameworks, but programs that ship and hold.

Edge

Applied AI

Self-taught — not theoretically, but practically. Workflows, architectures, and how these tools apply to real compliance problems.

On AI

I got into AI the way I get into everything — by building something with it.

I didn't take a course. I built workflows, broke things, and figured out what actually moves the needle in compliance work. Now these tools are integrated into every part of how I work.

This interest isn't just a side curiosity. It's how I work.

Operating principles
  • 01

    Ambiguity doesn't slow me down. I work through unclear requirements, shifting priorities, missing owners.

  • 02

    I deliver with discipline — committed timelines, regular stakeholder communication, promised outcomes. No surprises.

  • 03

    I don't wait to be told what matters next.

Data privacy is my domain. Agile delivery is my method. Making things work in large, regulated organizations is what I do.
