Founder

PepsiCo

Innovation can happen anywhere, and when it does you must foster it, help it develop, and grow! We work with colleagues around the world to activate innovation that extends to all parts of the company. Whether it is Improving the products and capabilities we have, or enabling new ideas for products and capabilities yet to come, we activate success. Great ideas come in so many sizes and even the smallest can have an outsized impact.

With a small team of talented people we are relentlessly striving to empower the people of PepsiCo to perform like never before and in ways never before imagined.  Some of our current avenues of exploration are tech scouting, prototyping, building platforms, growing education through exposition events, and especially facilitating design thinking and ideation sessions.

The part of this work that I find most engaging, is working towards helping others develop continuous improvement practices in whatever they do. It might take the form of new technology, process improvement, culture change, or people engagement at every level. I believe that by encouraging the use of DevOps, agile practices, new ways of working and people empowerment, we will unlock never before seen levels of creativity, productivity and satisfaction while improving peoples lives and bringing ever more smiles to our customers.

Senior Manager - Technology Innovation & Incubation

Across the globe and focusing on optimizing the value stream, I work with partners and providers to deliver cloud and datacenter compute capabilities to our ever changing and innovative business.

I'm currently focused on enabling faster infrastructure delivery and better infrastructure agility, particularly with hybrid cloud computing connectivity to suit the strategic needs of an evolving portfolio of consumer products.  

With an excellent team of experienced architects and engineers, we are developing new solutions that enable better technology solutions in far flung and often remote manufacturing and distribution facilities. 

Beyond being involved in transforming our infrastructure services, I also work toward bridging the divide between operations and application development in order to provide for continuous improvement across our application portfolio. I believe that by encouraging the use of practices typically associated with manufacturing and software development, we can enhance our infrastructure delivery and support disciplines substantially. Coupling developer best practices and best of breed configuration management tooling is a powerful combination allowing incredible productivity gains and faster time to market with rapid delivery of services.

Specialist - Infrastructure Architecture & Engineering

Working with multiple teams across the world to deliver the best of Intel hardware and Microsoft Windows to PepsiCo, striving to develop and engineer flexible and modular enterprise automation. Evangelizing the use of PowerShell across Intel servers and clients as well as working with application teams to drive toward a dev-ops culture. In concert with our worldwide infrastructure management partner, we provide engineering and support for Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2008R2 and 2012. 

Project initiatives are the biggest part of my responsibility, varying from hardware integration to operational management to infrastructure automation to workload optimization (hardware/virtual/ordering configuration). Integration is probably the most interesting part of the puzzle because there is an incredible diversity of systems and application that need to be brought together.

A key responsibility is working with our multiple sourcing providers to ensure security compliance and best practice implementation. In bringing about a secure and well managed environment, I especially enjoy working directly with hardware and software vendors to ensure our technological future. I get to work with leaders in our industry to bring to bear the latest hardware standards, improve service management, evaluate new hardware, software and cloud solutions.  Partnering with so many different organizations, I frequently provide feedback to vendors on problems and improvements needed as well as ensuring that the vendors are providing solutions that are in the best interest for all involved.

The part I most enjoy about my current role is sharing information with those around me and helping others to understand how they can best leverage the Windows and Intel world to deliver best in class services, analysis and information.

Learn from MISTAKES with AI | Tech Transformation | Innovation | Cloud | DevSecOps

Are you struggling to demonstrate the business value of technology?

With over 25 years of experience driving innovation and architecting complex systems, I've seen fantastic technology fail because it did not adequately address the user needs of the people it was built to serve.

I specialize in creating clarity amidst complexity - bridging the gap between technology capabilities and business priorities. My superpower is quickly grasping the heart of ambiguous problems and rallying teams to deliver solutions that create measurable value.

If you are a technology or business leader tired of:

❌ Chasing the latest hype while struggling to justify budgets

❌ Translating technobabble for skeptical executives

❌ Watching projects derailed by misaligned priorities

I can help you cut through the noise to build innovation strategies and technology roadmaps that move the needle for your organization and fully leverage AI and automation.

My approach combines systems thinking, design practices, and technical fluency to:

🎯 Uncover the root causes of business problems

🎯 Rapidly validate solution ideas

🎯 Deliver technology that users love

🎯 Continually optimize to drive outcomes

I've applied this formula to industry leaders like PepsiCo and helped clients build and integrate critical IoT, cloud, data, DevOps, and AI capabilities. 

Let's connect for a discovery call to explore if my expertise can help unlock value in your technology investments.

Tonight I opened the digital factory. 

Friday night is pretty much always creator time.

Most often, that means new video content for YouTube (and here on LinkedIn, and X). 

But tonight, something new is joining the creation workshop. 

This past week, I installed and turned on a brand new state of the art 3D printer, and I’ve already started work on my first project!

My research, analysis, and planning for 2026 to be the year physical AI. So what better way to keep tabs on the latest developments than by enabling brand new hardware that will be able to fully leverage all the great 3D models that we can already generate with AI. 

Just a day ago, Meta released a new Segment Anything model that further helps to separate and capture 3D objects. 

It’s exciting to see what’s coming, and I’m looking forward to some great new opportunities (and the content benefits that come with it) to literally build with AI in 2026. 

Let me know what you would try out if you had the chance, and especially let me know if you’d like to consider partnering up for exploring and building with AI in 2026.

No alternative text description for this image

After spending the last several years building apps with AI, it still amazes me how this is even possible. 

I’ve shifted to different apps and solutions over the years, but there's always another new idea that lets me test what’s possible. 

Lately, it’s incredible how little I have to do to finish an app. Most of the time now, I don’t even have to ask it to test the app; it’s already doing it!

So consider this: if there is a small app that solves a specific problem you would be willing to pay $20 or more for, it might be time to try an agentic coding platform.

And if you are already working with ServiceNow, you really must see the Build Agent in action; it’s truly remarkable.

Why do some AI initiatives accelerate while others stagnate?

After working with dozens of enterprises on their AI transformations, I've noticed a pattern that rarely gets discussed:

It's not about the technology...it's about the questions we ask.

Here's what I mean:

Instead of asking "How can we use AI?"
Ask "What problem are we truly trying to solve?"

Instead of "Which AI tool should we buy?"
Ask "How will this create value for our customers?"

Instead of "How much can we automate?"
Ask "Where does human expertise matter most?"

The most successful transformations start with these fundamental questions. They treat AI not as a silver bullet, but as a powerful tool in a broader strategy.

The organizations that thrive don't chase AI for AI's sake. 

Focus on:
• Clear business outcomes
• Employee empowerment
• Customer value creation
• Measured, intentional implementation

AI is a means to an end, not the end itself.

What questions are you asking in your AI journey?

This image reminds me of Thanksgiving celebrations as a kid, and when I look at it, it evokes emotions because it brings back that childhood experience.

Way back when I was in elementary school, Thanksgiving activities included coloring, and they always included a cornucopia.

I have rarely seen a cornucopia in person, and we do not have one in our home, despite it being the regularly used home for Thanksgiving festivities (mainly because we have a table that seats 14). 

Anyway, what's interesting about this image, and the effort I put into generating it with AI, is that in the past, if I had wanted to do this post, it would have taken hours of effort to share this with you in the visceral way that I am doing right now because of image generation.

The image's reality is not the point; your emotional reaction is.

I am using AI to invoke something beyond an image. This is the case with almost anyone who uses AI to generate images or video... It's all about our reaction.

They’re powerful because they make us feel something real.

As we step into this season of gratitude, that's the reminder worth holding onto: Technology can generate the picture, but only people generate meaning.

So if this simple AI cornucopia stirred a memory for you, that's not artificial at all.

That's human, and that's something worth being thankful for.

The results are in, and they speak for themselves.


The G2 community ranked ServiceNow ITSM the leader in nine market categories.

As I was reading through the comments, it’s clear that the platform does what it was engineered to do. No solution is a magic wand, even with the power of AI. 

I have the pleasure of working with our customers every day, showing what's possible and helping drive value, but what I appreciate most is how AI is solving not just problems for the enterprise but also for the platform team. 

From “having a sidekick that takes care of the grunt work” to ensuring “nothing slips through the cracks,” see what users say they love most about our ITSM: 

http://spr.ly/60427NtNA


And before I go, I need you to know that ServiceNow isn’t just winning with ITSM; we’re winning across Enterprise Workflows. 

If the work you do must be done, there's nothing like it for delivering for your employees, customers, and the whole organization.

Benchmarks are NOT reality.

We can argue about which benchmarks matter and how people *feel* about using or interacting with an AI all day long, but this is what we have right now and they are definitely relevant even if they don't tell the whole story.

I have several observations about this latest set of scores:

1.) It gets exciting when all the scores go up

2.) I get concerned when a benchmark hits 100% though, because it means we can no longer effectively compare the performance against that benchmark going forward. 

3.) Check out that ARC-AGI-2 score leap (particularly relevant to agentic AI)

Associate Professor at The Wharton School. Author of Co-Intelligence

Whoa. This new GDPval score for GPT-5.2 is a very big deal.

GDPval is probably the most economically relevant measure of AI ability, suggesting that in head-to-head competition with human experts on tasks that require 4-8 hours for a human to do, GPT-5.2 wins 71% of the time as judged by other humans.

Previous best was under 50%.

Incredible new AI advancements are happening. 

In fact, there has been enough innovation over the last 12 months to last for the next 12 years of tech implementation projects.

Now is the time to take action. 

In 2026, AI pilots will be separated from AI performers.

𝐀𝐈 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 ≠ 𝐀𝐈 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬


Many organizations proudly claim they are “adopting AI.”
But adoption alone does not mean readiness and it does not guarantee impact.

Accenture’s Technology Vision 2025 highlights a clear reality:
- Only 𝟑𝟔% of firms have successfully scaled GenAI beyond pilots
- And just 𝟏𝟑%% are seeing significant enterprise-wide impact

These numbers tell us one thing:
𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 ≠ 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐈-𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦:

The most effective leaders today aren’t trying to “keep up” with AI. They’re learning how to 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭, guide it and use it to strengthen their teams.

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 shows:
🔹𝟑𝟗% of core skills will change by 2030
🔹𝟔𝟑% of employers say skills gaps are the biggest barrier to transformation
🔹Leadership roles that embrace AI collaboration 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝟐–𝟑× 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 than those that don’t

Leaders who embrace AI collaboration:
🔹Make faster, data-driven decisions
🔹Empower their teams with clarity and confidence
🔹Shift from control to trust
🔹Innovate instead of firefight

This is the mindset we develop inside the 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐛:
