What if I told you that AI's true power lies not in its code but in the culture it creates? At GLEW, we turn that 'what if' into 'what's next.'

The world is fixated on technology while we focus on the people behind it. Where others obsess over the latest algorithms, we believe that AI’s real potential isn’t just in the lines of code—it’s in the mindset and culture of the teams that use it. At GLEW, we transform AI from a buzzword into a cornerstone of your business success, ensuring that technology is not just adopted but embraced and deeply embedded into your company’s DNA.

After more than 20 years in strategy, analytics, operations, and partnerships, I’ve witnessed countless technology initiatives falter—not because the tech was flawed, but because the people weren’t prepared. That’s why I founded GLEW. Our mission is to change the narrative, bridging the gap between AI’s potential and its real-world impact. We don’t just implement AI; we make it an integral part of your business, ensuring that your organization doesn’t just survive the AI revolution but leads it.

Our services span AI strategy, use case pipeline management, education, fractional leadership, and public speaking. But what we really offer is transformation—turning AI from a tool into a competitive advantage, deeply rooted in your business culture and strategy. We start by identifying where AI and GenAI can make the most significant impact on your organization. Then, we craft strategies that align with your business objectives, embedding AI into your culture, guiding your team through adoption, and ensuring that these changes are not just effective but lasting.

Whether you’re scaling up or starting out, our expertise ensures you’re not just adopting AI—you’re setting the standard for its use in your industry.

Let’s not just talk about the future—let’s build it together. If you’re ready to lead, not follow, in the AI revolution, I’d love to connect and explore how GLEW, can help you get there.

Outside of work, I’m an aspiring musician, a home chef, and a dedicated meditator. These passions fuel my creativity and keep me grounded in everything I do.

How do we do this better?

Some people can observe this thought and let it slide. For me, this question opens the door to a maze where dead ends, twists and turns all draw me towards the final exit. 

How do I [communicate] better?

This question drove me through piles of books, trying to find the right words to articulate the thoughts in my head. I read the dictionary, seeking the perfect word for a concept. I explored how to use these words in my writing through crafting songs, poems, essays, business communications, and even blog posts.

How do I [serve customers] better?

Retail work encouraged me to blend physics with humor, as I cut not only fabric, but jokes with customers. I could send bolts of fabric flying, whirling like magic. My scissors flew deftly from hand-to-hand and then neatly back where they belonged. “Annie Oakley” sprawled across my badge instead of my name.

How do I [make processes] better?

The search for better sent me observing processes until I found the root of the problem: shrink driven by untracked samples, call flow processes that enraged clients, or data mysteries requiring a different angle. Long before I knew of DMAIC, I followed key parts of Six Sigma.

How do I [interpret] better?

I watched countless people sign to remember their phrasing, movements, and expressions, so I could better match consumers during interpreting encounters. I learned old signs and regional variances, growing skilled at predicting which signs clients might prefer. Call this early training for NLP and also a convergence of all my other skills.

How do I [develop solutions] better?

Enraged when the technology I used failed at its mission to support users, I learned everything I could about what I touched - whether it was SQL, Excel, creating design requirements, and mockups. I lugged around a 3-inch binder back printers ruled the office with everything from user personas to database schemas and down-to-the-click interaction prototypes.

How do I [design] better?

Finding “better” meant digging into every aspect of my data visualization work and really questioning what made things good in the first place. “Doing vis better” meant blogging, experimenting, and ultimately co-writing a book to have a discussion. It meant co-founding a company where these ideals lead to how we think about data visualization.

How do I [play] better?
For fun, you can find me at martial arts classes, learning how to kick higher than people's heads and slicing more than data with a sword. I may also be reading by the fire.
