About

My focus is creating intelligent systems that guide talent strategy.

Grounded in I/O Psychology with over 20 years of experience leading operations, technology and analytics inside some of the world’s most successful companies, I’ve honed a craft of building and advancing digital capabilities.

I use science, technology, data and AI to create decision intelligence and products that reduce costs, accelerate outcomes and build organizations that are both human-centered and technology driven.

Advisory

Through PIQ Solutions, the HR strategy, people analytics, and AI transformation consultancy I founded in 2023, I translate enterprise-scale transformation into practical, executable outcomes — organization design, people-analytics strategy, AI-enabled transformation, HRIS architecture, and leadership selection.

I also advise startups on market and product strategy, bringing the same data discipline to positioning, go-to-market, and product decisions. My aim is to leave teams with reusable frameworks and diagnostics, not dependence on a single practitioner.
