Speaking

Built from inside the work, not above it.

I’m a practitioner. A decade inside banks and credit unions, and now Chief Technology Officer at The Outreach Team. I lead data, technology, and AI work for community-focused teams, large and small. I build it from the inside, and I tell you what it actually takes.

/ Speaking

Keynotes, panels, and conference sessions

Keynotes, panels, and conference sessions on data and AI leadership, community technology, and what it takes to make new tools stick. Practitioner talks, built from the work. I’m most useful to rooms full of the people who do the work: operators, organizers, leaders, boards, and the data teams holding it all together.

Topics I speak on:

  • Hearing what your community feels: sentiment analysis without a data science team
  • Building data and AI capability in community-focused teams
  • Making AI adoption stick: trust, ownership, and the human layer
  • Technology for mission-driven organizations, from cooperative finance to civic engagement
