Selected Career
Stealth General Intelligence Start-Up
2025 – Present
Co-Founder
Decision Engineering, automation debt, and verification-aware
architectures across enterprise and policy. Building the conditions
under which human judgment stays load-bearing while automation
accelerates faster than the human capacity to govern it.

2019 – Present
Founder · Gifted Advocacy, Cognitive Design, and Systems-Thinking Simulations
Eight years working with exceptionally non-linear thinkers, from
third grade through postgraduate engineering. Immersive, facilitator-led,
scenario-based simulations: a collapsing ecosystem, a lunar base in
cascading failure, no predetermined answers. The cognitive architecture
being built (causal reasoning, deterministic discovery, holding
complexity without flinching) is the same one that the enterprise work
addresses, scaled to the learner.
Cognitive Assistance Start-up · NYC
2018 – 2023
Co-Founder · Product Research and Strategy
Defined the research and strategy foundation for an AI-driven dementia
care and pre-clinical diagnostics platform: market definition,
user-centred research, and connecting multi-domain R&D expertise
around a problem that genuinely needed solving.
MassMutual Financial Group
2011 – 2018
Vice President, Cognitive Solutions and Innovation Practices
Led the Business Transformation and Innovation Program: a structural
reinvention of how the organisation learned, decided, and built for
change. An enterprise knowledge-management platform that linked
documented procedures with the tacit expertise actually driving good
outcomes, and intelligent decision systems that kept that connection
durable at scale.
Result: a 20% improvement in IT ROI. More important, an organisation
that no longer needed serendipity to perform at its ceiling. The work
directly informed the ten USPTO patents.
Program for the Future
2009 – 2010
Co-organizer
Co-organised the commemorative event marking the 40th anniversary of
Douglas Engelbart's 1968 Mother of All Demos: the demonstration
that first showed the world collaborative computing, the mouse, and
the argument that the right tools could expand the ceiling of human
thinking. Worked alongside Engelbart directly.
Anthem (formerly WellPoint)
2006 – 2009
Manager, Knowledge Strategy (Enterprise Business Services)
Eight analyst organisations, five functions, eight platforms, no shared
understanding of what they actually needed from each other. The problem
was that the gap between what people said they needed and what they
actually needed was invisible. Surfacing that tacit gap first, then
redesigning requirements elicitation around what was true, delivered a
40% improvement in accuracy and a 30% reduction in time-to-talent.
National Knowledge Commission, Prime Minister's Office (India)
2005 – 2006
Strategic Architect · National Knowledge Network, Government of India
Designed the strategic blueprint for India's
National Knowledge Network: the multi-gigabit infrastructure
that connects every university, research institution, and
knowledge-generating body in the country for collaborative work in
health, education, and grid computing. Authored the foundational
strategy paper for the PMO on transforming India into a knowledge
economy.
Airbus SE
2001 – 2005
Strategic Integration and Innovation Lead
Led post-merger integration across the four country teams (France,
Germany, the UK, Spain) where critical expertise had been built in
isolation and there was no shared body of knowledge. The RISE-EBoK
and KMOD initiatives established a unified Electronic Body of Knowledge
across all four teams.
Rework dropped 50%. The Airbus Excellence Award two years running.
The deeper result: a demonstrated proof of concept that tacit
expertise can be made structurally explicit and built into a system,
which became the empirical foundation for the Decision Engineering
framework and the ten patents.
