I’ve spent more than 25 years immersed in the architecture of data, digital systems, and institutional transformation. What began as a career in enterprise analytics and information management has evolved into something broader: a long-term investigation into how systems — technical, organizational, and societal — shape our capacity for trust, resilience, and innovation.
At the core of my work is a belief that data is not just a technical asset. It is a social force. When thoughtfully designed, governed, and distributed, information can serve as the foundation for inclusion, accountability, and progress. But when misused or misunderstood, it has the power to widen inequality, erode trust, and accelerate systemic failure. My research and advisory work focuses on building systems that are not only technically sound, but ethically grounded and built for long-term relevance.
Over the course of my career, I’ve led large scale data and analytics efforts across global industries including finance, aerospace, life sciences, logistics, and technology. I’ve served in senior executive roles at organizations such as Natixis Investment Managers, Sun Life Financial, General Dynamics, and State Street, helping to modernize digital infrastructure, implement data platforms, and integrate analytics into critical decision making processes. These initiatives supported trillions in assets and tens of thousands of users worldwide across critical global operations.
My early work focused on aligning data architecture with business performance, unlocking growth, efficiency, and stronger risk management. But as the digital world evolved, so did my focus. I became increasingly interested in the deeper questions:
Who owns the data that powers our institutions? How do we design systems that reflect the values of the people they serve?
What role does trust play in a world run by code, algorithms, and distributed networks?
These questions led me to co-found a consulting practice exploring the value of enterprise data in a time of institutional change. That work deepened into research around digital identity, decentralization, and new models of governance for the twenty-first century. Today, I continue this work independently, supporting initiatives that aim to build trustworthy systems, ethical data frameworks, and resilient digital infrastructure.
My academic background includes engineering studies at Clark University and MIT, along with advanced certifications in big data, enterprise systems, data science, and customer analytics. I believe leadership in the digital age requires lifelong learning, technical fluency, and a deep sensitivity to social impact.
My current focus is on helping organizations, governments, and research networks think systemically about the future. We are entering an era where data is no longer passive. It is participatory. The systems we build today will define how we collaborate, govern, and live. That, I believe, is one of the most urgent and hopeful challenges of our time.
My goal is to contribute to that future by helping design a digital world that is not only more connected, but more humane. A world where technology is the engine of progress, but human values steer the direction.
