Faster AI review. Clearer decisions.

I build organizations and decision systems that help people move through complex product, privacy, and regulatory questions.

Decision turnaround cut by more than half in one quarter.

I inherited a privacy-review function for a high-priority AI research organization that had escalated to senior leadership. The program needed faster decisions and a stronger working relationship with researchers.

I redesigned staffing, deployed additional resources, rebuilt researcher relationships, and introduced a decision-tree framework. With Legal, I clarified dataset guidance and reduced unnecessary manual review.

The function moved from executive-escalation status to steady operation while supporting more than 100 generative-AI launches. The decision framework became a template for related programs.

Improve decision speed while preserving the analysis and judgment the decision requires.

A shared system for risk-review decisions.

I co-founded a cross-organizational pillar coordinating risk review across multiple product groups serving billions of users.

The work brought review forums spanning five risk pillars and roadmap inputs from five workstreams into one operating plan. I defined decision rights, authored the canonical system design and runbooks, facilitated cross-functional governance, and coordinated audit readiness.

The system cleared a major operational milestone, with the inaugural internal audit closing with three minor findings.

Building the organization around the work.

Scaling global privacy operations

I helped build and scale a global privacy-review organization while owning privacy incident and breach response and global regulatory-compliance work.

The organization grew from roughly 35 to 75 people in one year. I conducted roughly 70 interviews, developed new managers, and covered major leadership gaps while strengthening hiring, calibration, coaching, and organizational design.

I partnered with Legal and Security on GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, breach analysis, regulatory reporting, data-subject notification, and cross-border transfers. I was promoted from Senior Manager to Director within the first year for outsized impact.

Rebuilding partnership across hardware and AR

I took over the privacy-review pillar for a hardware and augmented-reality organization with a fractured cross-functional relationship.

Across a multi-year partnership spanning hardware, software, infrastructure, and growth, I led roughly 120 extended reports at peak. I built joint roadmaps, established a weekly product forum, integrated partner staff into team operations, and handled escalations transparently.

Partner sentiment reversed. The relationship was later cited as a model for other partnerships, and the team led the broader organization in engagement scores.

Unifying review across a major business line

I sponsored a pilot consolidating two privacy-review workflows across a major business line, providing strategic sponsorship, partner alignment, change leadership, and working-team oversight.

The focused seven-week pilot tracked review speed against an explicit target and expanded to full coverage shortly afterward. It exceeded the business line's review-time goal on a majority of cases and cleared the team's stretch target.

Making AI adoption an operating-model change

I authored an AI Innovation Framework, led organization-wide AI learning, and drove AI-augmented and AI-native ways of working across the program-management team.

Adoption reached the high 80s, and the framework became foundational thinking for a broader operating-model rework.

Let's talk.
