About
Who I Am
I'm a technology strategy and operations executive with more than 15 years across financial services, energy, technology services, and the U.S. Army. At JPMorgan Chase I serve as VP and Chief of Staff for Legal Technology, where I own the annual strategy cycle for a seven-product global portfolio: AI investment priorities, product governance, and financial and workforce planning for a labor budget between $25M and $36M supporting roughly 164 people.
I also build. Since 2024 I've shipped an independent portfolio of AI products end to end, from database schema to production deploy. AuthMatch AI helps utilization-management reviewers match prior-authorization cases to Medicare coverage policy. Prepera coaches job seekers from saved listing to signed offer. SanctionsWatch tracks regulatory sanctions across five jurisdictions. Every one keeps a human decision-maker in the loop.
I hold an MBA, an M.S. in Management Information Systems, and PMP, Professional Scrum Master, AWS Cloud Practitioner, and FinOps certifications. Through my studio NightPivot I take on AI product and automation work for growing businesses. The fastest way to reach me is email.
