Chief Troublemaker - Enterprise AI Advocacy at Microsoft

I believe that you are one experiment away from being your most powerful self at work, and yes, in life!

Currently, at my day job, I'm running 100 experiments as the Chief Troublemaker of the Enterprise AI Advocacy program at Microsoft. My goal is that people all over the world can use our AI, Agents and Copilot products to reason over their OWN data and truly make AI useful for their business and lives!

I'm also a speaker (my fave audience is corporate leaders), a business coach (I teach sustainable side-hustling) and a multi-published author (it turns out fiction writing is really useful in software!).

I'm the owner of the ethical luxury fashion brand called Prima Dona Studios and I have (very) recently become a wine bar co-owner at #SIdeHustleTaps.

A few years ago, I was named one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Productive People and Cosmopolitan magazine's Businessperson of the Year for my “multi-faceted” aka weird life.

And yes, I'm always ready to get on a plane and come see YOU.
