Enterprise digital transformation executive

I turn digital ambition into operating reality.

For more than 30 years, I have helped organizations connect strategy, technology, data, operations, and people—then build the teams and systems that make change last.

The hats I wear

No one is only the title on a business card.

Each role has taught me something about how I lead: when to push, when to listen, how to prepare, how to endure, and why the people alongside you matter as much as the destination.

The role that provides perspective on every other one.

I have ridden RAGBRAI twice: endurance, cadence, and the discipline to keep turning the pedals.

Curiosity sometimes means being willing to look beneath the surface.

Businessman

I built Avalon from a collaborative idea into a firm that has supported more than 100 engagements.

How I work

Business first.
People always.
Technology in service of both.

Transformation succeeds when an organization can carry it forward without the person who started it.

I work across the boundaries that often slow change down—marketing and technology, strategy and delivery, executive vision and day-to-day operations. My role is to make the problem clear, align the right people, and create a practical path from decision to durable capability.

Current thinking

Ideas for leaders responsible for making change real.

Practical observations from the intersection of digital strategy, AI, operating models, and leadership.

AI enablement

AI adoption is an operating-model challenge before it is a technology challenge.

The organizations that create durable value connect tools to real work, clear governance, capable people, and measurable outcomes.

Digital strategy

The best platform is not always the best addition to the business.

Technology decisions become stronger when requirements lead the conversation and every recommendation can be traced to a business objective.

Leadership

A leader’s core team is the mechanism through which change scales.

Individual drive can start a transformation. A trusted, capable team is what carries it through a large and entrenched organization.

A story engages. A lecture repels.

I write and speak about the work behind transformation: the decisions, people, systems, tradeoffs, and leadership moments that determine whether an idea becomes an organizational capability.
