He leads AI strategy and consulting at Eleven VC and runs his own practice, Soul & Silicon, helping C-level leaders adopt responsible, business-focused AI from assessment through deployment. Previously he bootstrapped Hakomo to serve 32 clients across five continents, shipping 68 projects with a small, highly autonomous engineering team.
