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

AI Thought Leader | Visionary Executive | Trusted Innovation Partner

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 authored two AI books and published 50+ articles on AI, cybersecurity, software architecture, and digital transformation, featured in CIO.com, LinkedIn, Medium, and American Healthcare Leader.
