I work at the intersection of executive leadership, technology operations, and applied intelligence.
For more than twenty years, I’ve supported C-suite leaders inside complex organizations where clarity, discretion, and anticipation matter. My career has been built in environments where decisions move quickly, information is fragmented, and the cost of misalignment is high.
Today I serve as Chief of Staff within a global technology organization, supporting the CIO and Technology Leadership Team across Engineering, Data/AI, Security, and IT Operations. My role focuses on executive operations, planning cadence, portfolio visibility, vendor and financial oversight, and the systems that allow leadership teams to operate with discipline and alignment.
Earlier in my career, I supported executive leadership at Newmont, one of the world’s largest global mining companies. I initially served as Executive Assistant and Chief of Staff to the COO before moving to support the CEO, and later stepped in as Interim Chief of Staff to the CEO during a leadership transition. Operating inside the executive office of a global enterprise reinforced the importance of context, judgment, and the ability to translate complexity into clear decisions.
Throughout these roles, my work has consistently centered on the same challenge: helping leadership teams see clearly inside environments that generate enormous amounts of information and competing priorities.
That challenge is only increasing.
Organizations today operate in a constant stream of data, communication, and operational signals. Artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating that pace. While much of the conversation around AI focuses on automation or productivity, my interest lies somewhere different — how these systems can strengthen executive thinking.
When applied thoughtfully, AI can help structure information, surface assumptions, pressure-test decisions, and improve preparation before leadership walks into the room. Used casually, it can introduce noise and unnecessary risk.
The opportunity is not simply to use AI faster.
It is to apply it deliberately.
This perspective led me to found Strategic Leverage Lab, where I work with executive teams, Chiefs of Staff, and leadership operators exploring how applied intelligence can support decision clarity, executive preparation, and operational leverage inside high-trust environments.
The goal is not to replace judgment.
It is to strengthen it.
In many ways, the rise of AI is reinforcing the value of the Chief of Staff role itself. As organizations become more complex and the pace of decision-making accelerates, leaders increasingly rely on trusted operators who can synthesize information, connect signals across teams, and help shape decisions before they become public commitments.
That work requires context, experience, and judgment.
Technology can support it.
But it will always remain human.
