R&D lab for publishers experimenting with generative AI

Authentic and enthusiastic product leader with a proven track record of taking products from idea stage to millions in sales.

Currently in discovery mode, looking for my next adventure in ML/AI. Feeling blessed to be an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at my hometown university, where I can give back to the local startup community.

Previously co-founded a B2B SaaS company, where I envisioned and built a marketing technology product from mock-up to its first million in revenue in less than 12 months. I grew that startup until it was acquired by a strategic buyer, where I led product development for its ABM division.

My success stems from these principles:
* Persistently focus on ambitious goals. 
* Be a doer and inspire others into action by leading from the front. 
* Deplore and trim inefficiency in all things. 
* Communicate persuasively. 
* Prepare for interactions, never "wing it."
* Be calm in turbulent environments.

Just wrapped my session on the ARMTech Innovation Stage. TLDR: the market is crowded with AI-everything. So we set out to show something different:

We’re not just a vendor with live AI deployments across 100+ financial institutions... 

We operate as the first nationwide, licensed AI collections agency with real proof of performance.

In a live 4‑way champion/challenger, Kompato emerged as the top performer on a $240M charged-off personal loan portfolio. 

Demos are cool, but the bar for “AI in collections” should be: 

• Real portfolios
• Real regulatory constraints
• Measurable results

If you’ll be in Dallas for ARMTech, I’d love to compare notes on what you’re seeing in your own portfolios and share updated numbers from this ongoing test.

Webinar Jan 7th

Humans should be reserved for exceptions and leverage -- not for scale. 

The objective is to increase the value-per-human by shifting volume to AI while making humans more effective on the handful of accounts where they change outcomes. 

Key principles to consider on this journey:

1) Triage: clear boundaries driven by confidence + rules

2) Exception categories that should almost always hit humans

3) Human role design — make humans specialists, not generalists

4) Routing & handoff: design the UX and the audit trail

5) Compliance, safety, and governance

6) Human Workforce strategy (redefine careers; re-skill & redeploy)

7) All of the above, measured by metrics that matter (automation rate; escalation rate and reasons; time-to-resolution and average handle time for AI vs. human cases; recovery per FTE and cost-per-dollar-collected; compliance exceptions per thousand contacts; and more)
