Moments from the Past

July 28 2025 - WLDA - Data & AI Governance:

Data governance succeeds when it's perceived correctly: as the connective tissue, safety nets, and guardrails that enable success and speed.  Governance doesn't make rules—we simply facilitate good decision making.

May 5 2025 DGIQ Anaheim:

Successful AI implementation doesn't begin with product or technology. It starts with a good foundational business need and impact. Without this foundation, you're not implementing AI—you're just experimenting with expensive tools.

 

Feb 21 2025 - Quartz ‘Intentional Leadership’:

Your leadership journey isn't about chance or circumstance—it's about creating intentional systems that connect people, purpose, and personal growth in a virtuous cycle.

October 2024 - Quartz Event Chicago

Transformative leadership can take many forms—reshaping processes, redefining strategy, reinventing technology. But at its core, no transformation is truly transformative unless it shifts culture. Strategy, technology, products, or operations—if the culture doesn't evolve, the change won't stick.

Aug 01, 2025 – Quartz D&A Advisory Board
Data strategy and analytics are no longer back-office functions they are the engines of business impact. Leaders must anticipate trends, harness AI, and create insights that drive decisions. Advisory forums bring together forward-thinking executives to shape the future of data. True transformation happens when analytics informs strategy, not just operations.

July 28 2025 - WLDA - Data & AI Governance
Governance is not a rulebook it’s the connective tissue that enables organizations to move fast, responsibly, and confidently. It provides safety nets, guidance, and guardrails that empower good decisions. Without understanding governance as an enabler, speed becomes reckless and scale becomes risky. The real value of governance lies in enabling action with accountability.

AI success does not start with tools it starts with a clear business purpose and measurable impact. Without a strong foundation, AI experiments remain expensive exercises with limited value. Strategy, process, and alignment with outcomes make AI truly transformative. Real AI implementation turns technology into business advantage, not just experimentation.

Feb 21 2025 - Quartz ‘Intentional Leadership
Leadership is not shaped by chance it is built through deliberate, purposeful action. Intentional leaders create systems that connect people, purpose, and growth in a continuous cycle. Decisions, culture, and strategy are aligned when leadership is mindful. True leadership leaves a legacy of clarity, engagement, and impact.

October 2024 - Quartz Event Chicago-Panel 1: Transformative Leadership
Transformation is not just about processes, strategy, or technology it’s about evolving culture. True leaders reshape mindsets, align vision, and inspire action that sticks. Without cultural evolution, change is temporary. Culture, not process, is the ultimate lever of transformation.
