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.

Flypower

About 70% of solar projects fail, resulting in average losses of $2M-$4M per project and jeopardizing progress towards clean energy goals. The top three causes of failures are local opposition, permitting issues, and interconnection delays. Data on these barriers are digitally available but scattered, demanding substantial human resources for collation and translation into action.

Flypower uses Generative AI to offer developers on-demand due diligence software, helping to anticipate and mitigate these risks at the earliest stages of project planning.

Cofounder/CEO

Stealth Startup

I embarked on the entrepreneurial path and cofounded an AI startup that specialized in image analysis. Despite my efforts, the venture faced challenges amidst a turbulent economy. The journey imparted invaluable knowledge and perspective--please contact me for my lessons learned blog!

BLACKBIRD.AI

I created and ran the product organization for Blackbird.AI, a Series A startup using AI to detect online narratives and risks for Fortune 500 companies and national security organizations.   I spearheaded the company's inaugural launch, developed personas, streamlined onboarding protocols, and implemented an agile sprint cycle to enhance team efficiency and productivity.

Vice President Of Product Management

At Primer, we build machines that can read and write, using AI to analyze very large datasets. We analyze the world around us so that analysts can spend time on what truly matters--deriving insights from the data we summarize for them. I led a team of data scientists, software engineers, machine learning specialists and designers to build out solutions that synthesize millions of unstructured text records for enterprise customers around the world.

Director of Product Management

Senior Product Manager

Comcast Labs

I developed products to provide TV/Movie recommendations using machine learning.  We looked at both implicit data signals (your viewing history and metadata about our programs) combined with explicit data (things you've told us about yourself) to provide meaningful program recommendations.  Products include a "What Should I Watch" voice command as well as "People Also Watched", "Kids on Now", and "News on Now" rows on X1.

Senior Product Manager, Personalization

The Washington Post

I led the personalization product strategy at the Washington Post. I identified business problems that could be solved by AI/ML and worked with designers, dev teams, other product managers, and the business (advertising, newsroom, marketing) to build products to meet these needs.  My accomplishments include the Post's first targeted ad platform, the Post's recommendation module on all articles and other targeted advertising products.

Product Manager - AI/ML

I managed a team of designers and developers for building web applications for various divisions of the Washington Post. My primary focus was on the advertising, marketing and circulation groups. I found sustainable solutions to complex technical problems that the Post faced. I encouraged and developed my teams, whether on-site or off-site, by creating an environment of collaboration and innovation.

Product Manager | Manager

ABCDlady.com

I founded and ran ABCDlady, an award-winning online magazine for South Asian Americans.  I handled all aspects of its production including content production, marketing, advertising, scheduling, running the website, speaking engagements (including NPR), writer recruitment, coming up with fresh content and final responsibility for all content.

Founder and CEO

Central Intelligence Agency (through Technology Associates)

This was my first start-up experience.  I managed over 25 employees on five different national security programs at the CIA.  I played a key role in business development, brand definition and recruitment.  While onsite, I worked as a back-end engineer.

Director | Software Engineer

Central Intelligence Agency (through SAIC)

Right out of college, I worked on different programs within the CIA.  I was responsible for product management and creating software applications to meet our clients' needs.

Project Manager | Software Engineer

I'm a strong business leader and repeat entrepreneur with experience in startup formation, product vision and strategy, customer empathy, building out product teams, and roadmap planning and execution. I have 10+ years of experience in building AI products (0->1) across a wide span of verticals: national security, brand management, public affairs, ad tech, journalism, finance, e-commerce and crisis management.  

In the past 8 years, I've applied machine learning to solve real business problems at B2B and B2C companies.  At the Washington Post, I launched their first personalized ad tech platform as well as their article recommendation module.  At Comcast, I spearheaded their TV and movie recommendation platform.  At Primer.AI, I led the machine learning strategy in their flagship product —analyzing news and social media.  And at Blackbird.AI, I led the product organization to detect narratives and threats across social media.  

I am currently working for myself at Flypower. We are helping solar developers streamline their due diligence for a project.  Please contact me if you'd like to chat!  I would love to work with you.
