I left home at 19 and moved to another country with no money, no safety net, and no plan.
What I had was an inner certainty that I was meant to build something meaningful.

Since then, I have navigated reinvention many times, across leadership roles, entrepreneurship, personal loss, burnout, and rebuilding from scratch. Those experiences shaped how I lead, how I listen, and how I guide others through change.

Today, I work at the intersection of leadership, human dynamics, and artificial intelligence.

I help leaders and organizations navigate transformation without losing trust, clarity, or their humanity.

I am the CEO of APEK.ai, where we build secure, enterprise-grade Agentic AI and voice solutions that modernize operations while humanizing communication. My work focuses on helping organizations adopt AI in ways that feel intelligent, responsible, and deeply human.

With over 20 years in enterprise transformation, leadership strategy, and reinvention, I bring a perspective that blends technology, psychology, and real-world leadership experience.

Who I Work With

• Executives and boards navigating AI-driven change
• Leaders in transition who look successful on paper but feel misaligned inside
• Organizations ready to evolve beyond legacy thinking and systems
• Founders and senior leaders preparing for their next chapter of impact

People usually come to me when change stops being theoretical and becomes personal.

What I Believe

AI will not replace leadership.
But it will expose it.

The future belongs to leaders who can combine intelligence with clarity, technology with trust, and innovation with humanity.

I help leaders and consultants understand AI and use it well.

The best transformations happen when we focus on people first, and let tech follow.

When you:
↳ Make the complex, simple
↳ Lead with empathy and understanding
↳ Build bridges between tech and business
Teams align. Progress feels possible. Work gets done.

Behind every successful AI project, there's always a human story worth telling.

Throughout my career, I've seen the same issue: 
Strong tech, but no connection to the people it’s meant to serve.
That’s where things stall.

I believe that people, not algorithms,
are the heart of any meaningful change.

The role of AI is simple: make work easier, faster, smarter.

But it only works when people feel confident using it.

That’s what I focus on:
↳ Helping leaders cut through the noise
↳ Supporting consultants as they grow
↳ Making sure tech and business speak the same language

After all, isn't AI just a tool to help us humans achieve more? 

If any of this matters to you, I’d love to connect.
