AI Builder • 3x CHRO • AI Trainer: OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft

I Build AI Products. Not Decks.

Six AI-native applications shipped and in production. AI model trainer for OpenAI, Meta and Microsoft. 3x CHRO who led HR transformation at Fortune 500 and PE-backed firms. That combination of building, leading and training is the throughline of everything on this page.

I coined two original research concepts now used across the enterprise AI landscape: The AI Wage Gap and The AI Build Gap. I founded Portfolio Leverage Company to close both. I teach executives how to build through the ForwardShare cohort, a Microsoft/Coursera course and 2,300+ individual coaching engagements.

Journey

How I Got Here

University of Pennsylvania

BA, Anthropology & Neuroscience

Started at the intersection of human behavior and brain science. Understanding how people think, decide and change became the foundation for everything that followed: from Wall Street to HR leadership to building AI products that augment human decision-making.

Cardozo School of Law

Juris Doctor, Class of '09

Added legal rigor and analytical depth. Practiced at the intersection of employment law, compliance and corporate governance. The legal training later proved critical for SEC filings, fund formation and HR compliance work.

Wall Street & Finance

Goldman Sachs, Fortress Investment Group

Learned how capital flows, how boards think and what drives enterprise value. Financial acumen that became essential for PE portfolio operations, fund formation and pricing AI transformation engagements.

Tech Startups

Maxwell Health, Liazon (Inc. 5000)

Moved to the builder side. Helped scale high-growth companies, recruit at velocity and build culture from scratch. This is where the instinct for shipping product took hold.

HR Leadership

3x CHRO / CLO, Fortune 500 & PE-backed firms
