ABOUT

Multidisciplinary by design.
Execution-oriented by practice.

My career spans enterprise technology, product leadership, AI and data science, finance, economics, strategy and governance. That range helps me connect decisions across disciplines and carry ideas through implementation.

EXECUTIVE PROFILE

Turn insight into an operating advantage.

I lead strategic transformation and value creation across IBM Expert Labs’ $1.3B global services portfolio, partnering with business and technology leadership across 15 technology domains and cross-portfolio practices spanning offerings, subscriptions, and ecosystem partnerships. My focus is on translating signals into portfolio direction, accountable initiatives, coordinated workflows and performance visibility.

Earlier IBM roles centered on AI and data infrastructure, hybrid cloud product leadership, commercialization and industry solutions. My background in investment banking and capital markets, including BBVA, adds an economic and capital-allocation lens to technology decisions.

Board service adds a corporate-governance perspective: strategic oversight, risk, accountability and institutional decision-making.

BROADER PERSPECTIVE

Institutions, not just implementations.

International academic and professional experiences, including Fulbright and earlier participation in youth diplomacy and international dialogue, continue to inform how I think about institutional change and technology across borders.

ONGOING AREAS OF INQUIRY

AI-ready boards & institutions

How board directors can exercise informed oversight of AI strategy, risks, incentives, governance and value realization.

AI & international dialogue

Exploring how AI can support cultural diplomacy and cross-border institutional collaboration. Future initiatives will be shared as they mature.

BEYOND WORK

Traveling to more than 20 countries has broadened my perspective. Music, dance, gouache painting and learning Spanish keep me curious, experimenting and seeing the world from different angles.
