I have led an IT function of 2,000+ people as a bank's Management Board member — and I personally design and build AI products: LLM agents, enterprise RAG, production code. C-level strategy validated with my own hands is a rare combination.
An AI platform that builds a knowledge graph across all of a client's systems and uses LLM agents to proactively warn of failures, automatically quantify business impact and generate recommendations. Cuts incident Time to Explain from 40–90 to 3–10 minutes.
I believe an executive should personally understand the technology they govern. I design and build working systems end-to-end — architecture, code, operations: agentic workflows with human-in-the-loop, RAG pipelines with citations, evals and observability.
