Global Head, Energy Data and AI Platforms @ Amazon Web Services (AWS)
About
I work on one of the most exciting challenges in technology today: helping the world's most critical industries move AI from promise to practice.I lead Energy Data & AI at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where I help the largest energy companies turn data and machine learning into better decisions across exploration, development, and production. Earlier in my career I worked in the physical world from energy, minerals, infrastructure, and the delivery of $50B+ in global capital projects. That mix of hands-on industrial experience and frontier technology is what I bring to every problem.A lot of AI ideas never make it past the pilot stage. My focus is the part that's actually hard, helping organizations get to production and applying generative AI and intelligent agents to outcomes they can measure. I partner closely with boards and executive teams on the bigger questions underneath: data strategy, AI adoption, organizational transformation, and how to build lasting advantage as the technology keeps evolving.I'm especially curious about how AI is reshaping human systems, infrastructure, and decision-making — and the growing relationship between two of our most important resources, energy and AI. Views are my own.
