Strategic Consulting · Asheville, NC
I've shipped products, led teams, and sold a company. I help technology leaders navigate AI strategy, product management, and go-to-market — from someone who's done it in production, not just in theory.
Consulting
I work with technology companies, health systems, and founders who need strategic guidance that goes beyond frameworks — grounded in what it actually takes to build and ship.
I help organizations cut through the hype and build AI that works in production. Data foundations, governance, workflow integration, agentic AI readiness — from someone who's built clinical AI at scale and lived the gap between demo and deployment.
Healthcare AI · Enterprise AI · Agentic AII've run product at Sumo Logic, AWS, and Milliman — from zero-to-one builds to enterprise SaaS at scale. I help product leaders sharpen roadmaps, accelerate decisions, and build teams that ship with conviction rather than consensus.
SaaS · Enterprise · Data PlatformsPositioning that actually lands. I've launched enterprise SaaS products across observability, cloud, and healthcare — built the messaging, ran the launches, trained the sales teams. I help companies find the story that sells and make it stick.

Fix the Foundation
Why Healthcare AI Fails — and What Makes It Work
40 million people a day ask AI chatbots about their symptoms. The models are capable. The data underneath them is not. Healthcare AI isn't failing because the technology isn't good enough — it's failing because the foundation is broken. And when agentic AI arrives, broken foundations become a patient safety issue.
Available for keynotes (45–60 min), panels, and fireside chats.

About
I founded Pluritem Health in 2021 to solve a problem I couldn't stop thinking about: Medicare Advantage health plans managing care for millions of people, still running on spreadsheets and phone calls and data locked in silos. I built CareFlowIQ — a clinical AI platform using NLP, predictive analytics, and workflow automation — and sold the company to Milliman in 2024. I now lead it as CEO inside one of the world's foremost actuarial and healthcare analytics firms.
"I'm not describing a future state. I'm building in it."
Before founding Pluritem, I spent seven years at Sumo Logic leading machine learning and AI product initiatives — anomaly detection, recommendation engines, log intelligence at scale — and served as Business Lead at AWS SaaS Factory, advising SaaS companies on architecture, strategy, and go-to-market. Before that: BladeLogic (acquired by BMC for $800M), EDS, Northrop Grumman, Loudcloud.
I hold an MEng in Computer Science from Cornell University (John and Fannie Hertz Fellow) and a BA in Physics and Mathematics, Summa Cum Laude, from Appalachian State. I created and hosted Masters of Data — 75+ episodes with worldwide listenership. I live in Asheville, NC with my wife and two kids, and I think the best consulting happens when someone's been in the room where the hard decisions get made.
