Career Timeline
Chief Innovation Officer, SVP and Head of Internal AI at Tango (Nov 2024-Present)
Promoted internally to Chief Innovation Officer, SVP and Head of Internal AI. I lead the company-wide AI transformation across all eight functions: running the AI Lab, central enablement, and the function-level AI transformation plans that re-architect how a SaaS company actually works.
- Built the AI Lab from zero: intake, experimentation, production gates, on track to self-fund through measured business impact
- Driving margin uplift and revenue growth sourced entirely from how the business operates with AI
- Rolled out per-function reinvention operating models across all 8 functions, each with an explicit AI autonomy charter defining what AI decides independently vs. what still needs a human
