about:
I build AI-powered products that change how people work. Not by adding features on top of broken processes, but by redesigning the context in which work happens.

My career spans market intelligence (5 years), digital consulting and communications (10 years), and enterprise AI transformation at consulting partner level (15 years), with one consistent thread: getting closer to how people actually get their jobs done, and removing the friction that stops them.

I've led teams of 30+ product, design and innovation specialists, and written and rolled out playbooks across Lean Product, Design Thinking and AI enablement that generated many tens of millions in consulting revenue, and multiples of that in client value. I've also designed consumer-facing digital products at scale, including contributing to a significant consumer app rebuild during its early funding rounds.

What I'm focused on now: AI-powered learning systems, embedded coaching for high-stakes conversations — sales, change management, M&A, negotiation — and context architecture: designing the knowledge structures that make AI agents genuinely useful rather than generically capable.

I work with leadership teams and investors on a fractional, advisory, or consulting basis, and occasionally take on retained strategic product roles where the fit is right. If you're building something in this space and need someone who can move between boardroom and build, get in touch.

· AI platform product management
· Smart agent and context architecture

headline: Data & AI Leader, PwC Canada | Growing a practice taking GenAI from pilot to production in regulated industries | Trusted advisor to executives in financial services, public sector and healthcare

about:
At Rogers Bank, I reported directly to the CEO. My team built a machine learning workbench that cut model development costs by 90 per cent, propensity and profitability models that quadrupled campaign response rates, and a dynamic customer costing model accurate to 89 per cent. The lesson has stayed with me: AI earns its keep when it changes a commercial outcome an executive is accountable for, and not before.

That standard shapes how I lead at PwC Canada, where I direct a $10M+ annual portfolio of data and AI engagements across financial services, public sector, healthcare and insurance. My teams take generative AI into production, not pilots: LLM fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, autonomous agents, and the evaluation and governance frameworks that boards and regulators expect to see behind them.

The position I have staked out is straightforward. Canada's most consequential institutions — its banks, hospitals, insurers and governments — cannot adopt AI the way a startup can. They carry obligations a startup does not: privacy, data governance, model risk, public trust. The intersection of production-grade AI and institutional accountability is where I work, and where I have built my practice.

I write regularly on AI in Canada's public sector and healthcare systems, and on what responsible adoption looks like inside regulated industry, because I think the people making these decisions deserve analysis grounded in delivery rather than speculation.

Beyond client work, a growing share of my time goes to the market side of the practice: shaping propositions, developing accounts, and building relationships with platform partners across the Azure, Google Cloud, AWS, Collibra and Alation ecosystems.

Most Canadian financial institutions have AI running in production that was never formally approved, documented, or risk-assessed.

headline: AI Architect helping orgs know exactly what AI to build, why it’ll work, and how it’ll move the biz forward by translating intent into intelligent systems where every component has a job and the whole thing compounds.

about:
I help organizations know exactly what AI to build — and exactly why it'll work.

While helping lead enterprise-wide AI rollouts at a $1.7B firm, I came to realize technology is the easy part. The real work is intent, alignment, and design — the things an architect handles before construction starts. Most teams skip it. And when they do, eventually someone is trying to explain to the board why the budget got spent and none of it connects to outcomes.That's not a technology failure. It's the absence of architecture.

I founded Insight Riot — an AI architecture firm — to fix that. We translate business intent into intelligent systems where every component has a job and the whole thing gets more valuable over time. Architecture is the only discipline we practice. It matters before the build, and after the first experiments fail to compound.

The portfolio is the proof. TalentVector AI, Conversor, and Conversational Management are built systems — not pitch decks — each architected to solve a structural problem, not just a feature gap.
What I bring:
  — Architecture, not advisory — structure, not slides
  — Senior AI architecture leadership without the full-time hire
  — A method (Discover · Define · Align · Build · Govern) that turns scattered AI activity into systems that compound
  — Built proof — products in production, not theoretical frameworks

  Current focus:
  → AI Architect of Record — ongoing architectural stewardship as your AI estate grows

headline: Partner - Business and Technology consulting | AI transformation | Financial Services

about:
Change is easy to talk about, but harder to deliver. I help financial institutions close that gap.

As a Partner at Infosys Consulting, I lead complex transformations in banking and insurance, working at the intersection of technology, business strategy, and human behaviour.

Over the last 20 years, I have advised global firms on core banking transformations, platform modernisations, large-scale digital programs, AI integration, across Europe, Asia, America, and Australia.

Technology evolves exponentially. Businesses change logarithmically.

I work in the in-between, helping leaders bridge that widening space with clarity and execution.

None of it happens solo. I have built and led teams across regions and cultures, driving outcomes in complex environments where alignment is tough and expectations are high.

I have worked in start-up, small, medium, and large consulting organisations, from niche boutiques to global powerhouses, and partnered with some of the world's largest banks and insurers. That range taught me how scale works, how decisions get made, and where transformation efforts get stuck.

I am a management consultant by trade, but I am also the bestselling author of "Beyond Slides", a book for consultants who want to survive and thrive in the long game, with fewer buzzwords and more substance.

Before consulting, I trained as a computer scientist and engineer.

Before that, I studied Latin and Ancient Greek.

This mix of code and classics shaped how I think: systems and strategy on one side, philosophy and pattern recognition on the other.

Born in Puglia, at the bottom of the heel of the Italian "boot", I have lived and worked across four continents, built multimillion-dollar markets from the ground up, and earned the trust of clients in nine countries (i

headline: Making visible what organizations keep hidden | Enterprise IT Architect | AI & Systems Thinking | Co-founder Hidden Connections

about:
Where others see isolated problems, I see patterns. Where others talk about symptoms, I name the underlying logic that keeps an organization stuck.

I'm an enterprise architect and systems thinker. My work is making the invisible architecture of organizations visible — the fractures between strategy and execution, between data and decision-making, between technology and human behavior.

Growth rarely stalls for lack of talent. It stalls when the way of working that got an organization this far stops scaling with it: complexity grows faster than clarity, consensus eats momentum, AI initiatives drift without direction, and systems pile up like geological layers. The answer is rarely more complexity. It's exposing what has fundamentally stopped working — and rewiring it.

I don't try to overhaul everything. I identify precisely which parts of the system need intervention and leave the rest alone. I don't look at the org chart. I look at the connections.

That conviction runs through everything I do — from co-founding Hidden Connections and its Shatter · Rewire · Activate method (break the old thinking, build new connections, set the organizational brain in motion) to helping organizations adopt AI in a way that's coherent, reusable, and responsible at scale.

Recognize the signals? Let's exchange ideas on AI, enterprise architecture, and how organizations actually change.
