Résumé
I turn emerging technology into lasting organizational capability.
Creative technology leader and hands-on visual practitioner with more than 20 years of experience building products, production systems, multidisciplinary teams, and high-impact experiences. I operate across executive strategy, organizational design, pipeline development, rapid prototyping, and visual craft.
Career highlights
Evidence of increased capability.
Leadership profile
Leader, builder, and visual practitioner.
I help organizations navigate moments when new technology has moved faster than the workflows around it. I reduce uncertainty through research and prototyping, then build the products, pipelines, roles, and review systems required to deliver reliably at scale.
My experience spans feature-film VFX, commercial CG, real-time visualization, augmented reality, product development, post visualization, AI-assisted workflows, and large-format experiential media.
