I turn operational complexity into measurable economic value. Over 35+ years, from risk selection and pricing at Zurich, to strategic workforce planning at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, to my current work leading applied technology spanning AI, quantum cybersecurity, and complexity science, I%27ve closed the gap between how organizations run and how they should. Results include $1.4B from a redesigned business architecture and a $100M billing process cut from a week to four hours. I%27m best suited to boards at an inflection point: legacy organizations modernizing, or emerging-tech companies that need someone fluent in both enterprise rigor and frontier technology. I look for high-value problems I can move quickly on, short-to mid-range engagements where the ROI is clear, rather than long-term day-to-day roles. In the spirit of the Athenian Oath, I aim to leave every organization I touch better, stronger, and more capable than I found it.
