sourced_title: Capability Lead Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

headline: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion | Pay Transparency | AI-driven HR

about:
Many organisations invest simultaneously in diversity, equity & inclusion, pay transparency and AI-driven HR decision-making. What is often missing is governance: clarity on how decisions are made, which data is used, and who is accountable when systems reinforce inequality rather than reduce it.

I work at the intersection of DEI, pay transparency, and AI-driven HR, helping organizations move beyond symbolic initiatives towards measurable and governable DEI.

As Capability Lead Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Highberg, I advise organisations on data-driven DEI questions such as inclusion measurement, pay gap analysis, and the design of decision structures that make DEI transparent, explainable, and actionable.

In parallel, I am a PhD researcher at the Open University, where my doctoral research focuses on how organizations can effectively steer on diversity and inclusion. My research shows that diversity and inclusion are fundamentally different phenomena: a diverse workforce does not automatically lead to an inclusive climate, and vice versa.

Across research and practice, my work centres on one recurring question:
How can organisations design leadership, systems, and data in ways that support inclusion rather than undermine it, especially as AI increasingly shapes HR decisions?
Here, I share insights from research and practice on DEI, pay transparency and the governance of HR data and AI in organizations.

I started by selling treasury and cash management solutions at JPMorgan and Comerica, moved into business transformation consulting at EY. Today, I drive go‑to‑market, growth, and enablement initiatives across EY’s Americas Managed Services business, partnering across sectors to align teams, strengthen execution, and advance strategic priorities that enable scalable, long‑term growth.

At my core, I’m a connector. I’m known for building strong relationships with clients, colleagues, and teams because I believe meaningful transformation always begins with human connection and trust.

Outside of work, you’ll find me speaking on stages, practicing yoga or pilates, or mentoring emerging professionals. My passion is helping the next generation of leaders build confidence, find their voice, and excel at their highest capacity.

headline: Co-Founder & Chief AI Officer at Signalo LLC | Helping Strengthen U.S. Manufacturing Through Practical AI Adoption

about:
AI transformation fails when organizations treat AI as a series of pilots instead of a core business capability.
I work directly with C-suite leaders and boards to change that, turning AI into a measurable, company-wide impact.

As an AI Transformation Advisor and Chief AI & Innovation Officer, I help organizations move from experimentation to execution. I define the right strategy, prioritize high-impact opportunities, and orchestrate execution across the business, ensuring AI is adopted by people, embedded in processes, and trusted at scale.

Rather than relying on long, theoretical roadmaps, I focus on rapid validation and disciplined scaling, identifying where AI can drive real operational and financial outcomes.

Selected Impact

✅ Delivered AI initiatives generating $3M–$12M in annualized value
✅ Enabled adoption across 1,000+ users with 70–90% active usage within 90–120 days
✅ Reduced manual reporting and operational effort by 20–40%
✅ Accelerated AI time-to-value by 30–60%
✅ Established governance frameworks enabling secure, responsible AI at scale

I’ve partnered with organizations including 3M, Amazon, ING, BNP Paribas, Coca-Cola, and Heineken across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia, advising boards, building AI Centers of Excellence, and aligning AI investment with business, risk, and workforce priorities.

I coined the concept of “Digital Leap of Faith” to describe the leadership required for AI transformation:
moving decisively while governing wisely to turn AI into a lasting business capability rather than an experimental initiative.

about:
Organizations rarely fail because of strategy.

More often, transformation efforts fail because leadership, technology, culture, customer expectations, and execution become misaligned.

Throughout my career, I have focused on solving that challenge.

Over the past 15+ years, I have partnered with executive leaders across financial services, technology, telecommunications, healthcare, retail, and consulting to design operating models, governance structures, customer experience strategies, and transformation programs that help organizations scale while maintaining trust and organizational alignment.

Today, I serve as a Marketing Transformation Manager within Accenture, helping global organizations modernize operating models, enable AI-driven ways of working, strengthen governance, and improve cross-functional execution in complex, matrixed environments. My work spans enterprise transformation, executive enablement, operating model design, customer experience, AI adoption, and organizational change.

Prior to Accenture, I led transformation initiatives at Arrow Electronics, Indeed, USAA, T-Mobile, Blend360, Verizon, and Johnson & Johnson. Across these organizations, I have helped deliver more than $400M in business value, improve operational efficiency by 38%, generate double-digit growth, and mitigate significant regulatory and operational risk.

In parallel, I am pursuing an Executive Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) at Penn State University. My research explores how trust, authenticity, leadership consistency, and organizational alignment influence stakeholder behavior in increasingly polarized environments. Through this work, I seek to bridge the gap between academic research and practical business application.

about:
I help banking and financial services clients reach their global sourcing, business and transformational goals by embracing digital, automation and the cloud. My Half a Billion Dollar Practice was built ground-up, with specific focus on :

» Helping Clients Build Their Strategy
Every client I work with has a problem to solve: Some are obvious, while others manifest themselves as missed opportunities. I lead a team that works side- by- side with clients to understand their model, develop a point of view, and identify the right solution to transform their current approach.

» Developing a Motivated and Passionate Team
I build leaders on my team who are motivated to go beyond the standard client-vendor relationship. I encourage them to stretch the boundaries and try something new, both professionally and personally. My team is a three-time winner of Cognizant’s “Supplier of the Year” award and I have been recognized with the CEO’s award for Transforming Customer Relationships.

» Uncovering New Opportunities in the Marketplace
A significant part of my role is helping to differentiate Cognizant in the marketplace with our regional banking and payments clients. I work with my team to uncover new ways for them to “be digital,” operate faster and provide better customer service. This was a driver for us to build-out a Fintech Practice and mentor Fintechs as well.

» A Deep Focus on Mentorship
Every business improves by identifying fresh talent with new ideas. I seek new opportunities to mentor up-and-coming professionals who share my team’s passion and dedication to clients. You will see me on college campuses talking with students about their careers, and spearheading Cognizant’s North American Campus Recruitment Program.

about:
For over three decades I’ve enjoyed bringing the advantages of data and technology to government agencies.

For the public sector industry, I’m focused on how changes in our world - climate, social, and political - are changing the way agencies need to operate.  The public sector professionals I serve are boldly transforming their organizations and the way they deliver services.

In technology, the ecosystem of solutions and approaches has gotten much more complex over those years.  That makes things trickier, but it also exposes a whole new set of possibilities.  I’m focused on AI, cloud, and new work methods that unite everyone involved, from end customer to government leader.

I don’t go to my twin brother Rob with the easy stuff.  I go to Rob with the really hard things. Specifically, these four things:

When you’re an identical twin, you are born with the innate knowledge that the universe is shared with at least one other person. You have a kind of porous sense of self. The universe is shared. Thinking is shared. It doesn’t make you less of a person. It doesn’t make you weaker. It just changes your knowledge of the concept of

Special thanks to Campbell Youngblood for the vision and Sean Nowell for the push.

Twins are total sycophants. Not a day goes by where Rob isn’t propping me up, or I’m not giving him a compliment on something he’s done—maybe a piece of writing or a sales strategy at DIRCKS Creative Studio.

Of course, Rob and I do all the other stuff: listen, be strong, offer contemplative, balanced advice. Look at the facts and offer recommendations.  But under it all, we’re on the same side.
