Thought Leadership
AI, Identity & Strategy
I write from lived experience in strategy, identity, and AI. Generative AI helps refine clarity and validate data — but the voice and perspective are entirely my own.
Becoming Me: A Reintroduction
There are moments when your voice becomes impossible to ignore. This is the story of how pressure clarified my purpose, sharpened my leadership, and revealed the future I am built to lead in.
Role Design in the Age of AI
AI was supposed to make work easier.
Instead, in many organizations, it has done the opposite — not because the technology is flawed, but because the roles around the technology are.
The modern workplace now moves at a velocity the human brain was never designed to sustain. Workloads accelerate. Expectations multiply.
Communication channels expand. And somewhere in all that speed, something quietly vanishes: Clarity.
Finding Your Voice in the Age of AI
Most people use AI to write faster. I used it to learn who I was. Over the past year, writing with machines became a mirror that stripped away the noise, surfaced my patterns, and revealed a voice I didn’t know I had.
This Was Made for Me
Before AI and data, before loyalty programs and grocery analytics—I was at the wheel, shaping clay with care. That same presence guides how I build today. Not just tools that function, but systems that feel right in someone’s hands.
Taking the Leap: How to Embrace Career Risks and Pave Your Path Forward

Watering Your Flowers: A Reflection on Growth, Gratitude, and Quiet Impact
As I prepare to leave SymphonyAI and step into a new chapter, I’ve been reflecting on these quiet moments and the lessons they hold. This past week, I’ve been deeply moved by the kind words of colleagues and clients who’ve shared how my work impacted their own. These conversations reminded me of something we often forget: we are far more exceptional than we give ourselves credit for.
Real Talk, Real Leadership: The Power of Honest Conversations
The best leaders aren’t the ones with the fanciest titles or the slickest presentations. They’re the ones who show up for their people—consistently, authentically, and with purpose. Next time you notice something isn’t quite right on your team, skip the analysis and just talk to the person. Be curious. Be honest. Be human. Great leadership isn’t about strategies or optics. It’s about showing up for the people who make it all happen.
Overcoming Resistance to Change: Empowering Digital Transformation in Retail
For grocery retailers to stay competitive, they need to redefine the roles of their buying teams. Buyers must evolve into strategic thinkers who use technology to inform complex decision-making. This requires overcoming resistance within the organization, a challenge that cannot be ignored.
The Role of Leadership in Driving Digital Transformation
Digital transformation is not just a technical overhaul; it is a fundamental shift in how organizations operate, innovate, and deliver value. While many view it as a technology-driven endeavor, the true force behind successful digital transformation is leadership. It’s leadership that sets the vision, drives cultural change, and ensures that an organization can adapt to the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
