About

With over 10 years of experience in software engineering, I am passionate about creating innovative and collaborative solutions for the manufacturing industry. As the co-founder and CTO of Poka Inc., I lead the development of the first social industrial platform that empowers workers, managers, and factories with better training, knowledge retention, and real-time information. My mission is to help companies use and share their best practices, thoughts, and knowledge, anywhere at any time. In 2023, we sold Poka to IFS to start the next leg of our journey to revolutionize the manufacturing world.

As CEO, my focus is on building a company that is fundamentally AI-native. That means rethinking how we operate, make decisions, and deliver value, using intelligence, automation, and augmentation as first principles rather than add-ons. AI is not a function or a team; it’s a new operating model that reshapes speed, scale, and leverage across the organization. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and culture, with a clear mandate to create clarity, compound impact, and ensure we build for the future, not the past.

As Chief AI Officer at Poka, I lead our company-wide transformation toward an AI-native future. My focus is on rethinking how we operate, build, and deliver value - internally and for our customers. This includes driving AI adoption across teams, embedding intelligence into our platform, and shaping new ways of working powered by automation, agents, and augmentation. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, experimentation, and product vision - with a mandate to challenge assumptions and rewire how we think about scale and impact.
