The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Founder and Chief AI Officer, ArgoLong

For over three decades, I’ve helped organizations turn complex challenges into transformative breakthroughs with data and AI as the catalyst.

From developing the world’s first FDA-cleared AI medical imaging systems to advising global regulators on responsible AI, my work is driven by one belief: technology should improve lives for patients, customers, employees, and society. 

I’ve led digital and AI transformations at Slalom, GE Healthcare, Adaptive Biotechnologies, Quest Diagnostics, and Celera. Most recently, I built and scaled an AI innovation center serving over 600 clients across six industry sectors. Throughout my career, I’ve launched 300+ AI and digital solutions, delivered $1B+ in business value, and helped organizations turn AI ambition into real-world impact.  

I've authored three AI books and published 50+ articles on AI, enterprise IT, cybersecurity, software architecture, and digital transformation, featured in CIO.com, American Healthcare Leader, and GRC Outlook.
