Select the engagement that fits what you are evaluating. Senior leadership and consulting in tech and healthcare.
Open to CEO, Chief AI Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, and other C-suite roles, full-time or fractional, at technology and healthcare organizations from growth-stage startups through publicly traded enterprises, where the strategic question is AI in a high-stakes environment. Right fit matters more than the title.
About this pathwayMost large consulting firms cannot match the combination of executive track record, active doctoral research, and production AI infrastructure. Forty years across healthcare, financial services, retail, transportation, energy, and technology. AI strategy, infrastructure design, and implementation for organizations where AI investments need to deliver and where getting it wrong costs patient harm, financial loss, regulatory exposure, or reputation.

Forty years of work
Active in 2026
Two active research streams. The first studies entrepreneurial success at scale, drawing on a longitudinal venture database of more than four million firms. The second studies high-stakes decision architecture, where the alignment of necessary conditions and the weakest link constrain outcomes that averaging methods cannot natively express.
White paper
A Strategic Framework for Accountable AI. Synthesizes five reasoning architectures into PARS and introduces the High Stakes Reasoning Gate.
