I'm a career Engineering, Data Science, & AI executive and consultant, having served in CTO, CIO, and Chief Data Scientist exec roles. I've worked with machine learning and data science for >25 years, building and leading the first data science and machine learning practices at companies at stages from startup to Fortune 50. I was at McKinsey 2001-2004 in the San Francisco Office, which I joined after completing a PhD at Stanford, where I studied with the early pioneers in machine learning. I'm active in the AI community; I created and lead Accenture/Udacity's "Generative AI for Business Leaders" and "Data Science for Business Leaders" executive programs. As an independent consultant I mainly work with execs at mid- and large-caps on how best to leverage Data Science and Traditional and Generative AI for productivity benefits and product enhancement. I live with my wife Michelle in Boulder, Colorado, where I enjoy running in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. We have three adult daughters and (as of this writing) four cats and two dogs.
