01

Strategic advisory

I help leaders set direction on AI and organizational change, with a clear view of what matters now and what they are building toward.

AI strategy

Decide where AI can create meaningful value, what deserves investment, and what can wait.

Organizational intelligence

Rethink how people, knowledge, and AI inform decisions across the organization.

Leadership & governance

Clarify accountability, decision rights, and the principles that guide change.

What this makes possible

A shared direction, clearer priorities, and a basis for decisions your teams can act on.

Adaptive Intelligence

Advance a more humane future by connecting people, technology, and organizations. I help leaders develop the capacity to learn, adapt, and remain aligned as conditions change.

Humane Intelligence (HQ)

Develop the capacity to align human and artificial intelligence with shared values, expanding human agency and collective capability.

Humane Security

Protect people and the systems they depend on by anticipating unwanted outcomes and responding as risks evolve.

Humane Systems

Shape organizations and institutions that learn, adapt, and coordinate people, intelligence, and resources.

What this makes possible

A practical way to examine how intelligence serves your goals, where risks are emerging, and what needs to adapt.

Venture and ecosystem support

I support founders and partners in shaping ventures, programs, and ecosystems around consequential goals, connecting the people, ideas, and resources needed to move them forward.

Purpose & direction

Clarify the problem, the people it affects, and the lasting value a venture or initiative could create.

Partners & connections

Identify complementary capabilities and relationships that help an ecosystem make progress together.

Resources & alignment

Connect priorities, capabilities, and capital to support value from the next quarter to the next generation.

What this makes possible

A clearer foundation for collaboration, with shared priorities and a stronger understanding of the support needed to progress.
