About

Two decades shipping regulated technology. One idea at the center: trust is the product.

I am a product and compliance executive with 18+ years in regulated healthtech and AI, including 5+ as a VP. I have launched 30+ regulated, AI-enabled products supporting more than $2B in revenue, and I named the ideas at the center of my work: trust debt and pilot purgatory.

The thesis

Pilot purgatory is not a product problem. It is a trust problem.

Most enterprise AI pilots fail, not because the model is wrong, but because the team shipped without the artifacts a buyer needs to trust it in production.

The distance between a working pilot and a signed contract is trust debt. It compounds quietly until the deal stalls, the diligence flags it, or the implementation fails.

That idea runs through everything I do: the advisory work, the writing, and the book. Build the trust infrastructure early, and AI becomes something buyers adopt, regulators accept, and boards can stand behind.
