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.
