Senior Vice President, AI Strategy & Execution @ U.S. Bank
About
I am an enterprise transformation and operations executive who partners with CEOs and COOs to modernize operating models, improve outcomes, and scale execution across complex organizations. Over the past decade, I’ve led multi-year, enterprise-wide transformations across financial services, retail, tech, and healthcare—owning large portfolios focused on cost-to-serve reduction, operating leverage, workforce productivity, digital transformation, and customer experience. My work consistently translates strategy into execution through disciplined operating models, governance, and measurable P&L impact. I specialize in: • Enterprise and functional transformation • Operating model and org design • Margin expansion and cost optimization • Execution at scale across global teams • CEO / COO partnership and board-level communication AI, automation, and advanced analytics are tools I deploy—not the goal. I use them to accelerate outcomes, redesign how work gets done, and create sustainable operational advantage. Known for balancing strategic clarity with operational rigor, I build teams and systems that deliver results today while positioning organizations for what’s next.
