Practical AI strategy and governance for retail, distribution, and manufacturing.
Find the opportunities worth pursuing. Understand the risks. Build a clear plan for putting AI to work in your operations.
Connect AI investment to actual business needs. Identify practical applications and the people, data, and systems needed to make them work.
Understand how AI is being used, what company information is involved, and who is accountable. Turn findings into practical next steps.
Start with your most pressing question—or combine opportunity and governance in one scoped review. We agree on access, deliverables, timing, and a fixed fee before work begins.
Scope reflects your organization and the evidence available. Technical testing or specialist remediation can be scoped separately when needed.
From retail and supply chain consulting to owning global IT operations. Experience with the systems, decisions, and delivery work behind real change.
7-Eleven / JDA / NetSuite
Kibo / KPS Global
My experience includes leading a Microsoft Copilot rollout, establishing AI vendor review and data governance practices, and personally building internal AI tools for SOP management, KPI tracking, and approval workflows.
That work builds on a career in retail, supply chain, enterprise software, and IT operations. I’ve led consulting delivery at JDA and Kibo, worked inside 7-Eleven, managed retail implementations at NetSuite, and owned global IT and business systems at KPS Global.
I bring that perspective to AI decisions: what is worth doing, what needs to be ready, who owns it, and how the business will use it.
