Over two decades, my career has spanned corporate, government, non-profit, and research sectors, providing me with a unique perspective on the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as AI. My strengths include incubating new initiatives and organizations from concept to reality, building high-performing teams, overcoming obstacles to “get things done,” rapidly gaining expertise in new technologies to accelerate time-to-value, leading cross-functional teams, making complex topics accessible to diverse audiences, and cultivating trusted relationships.
Local government and community engagement is critical to many science- and technology-related policy issues. But there are few avenues for engineers and scientists to learn how to effectively engage locally. I founded ESAL to help address this gap.
