AI Strategy, Products & Workflow Transformation
I help organizations align AI with their goals and turn it into practical products, systems, and workflows that create real value.
After 25+ years in news media as a journalist, editor-in-chief, and media executive, I now run Novocean, my agency of one, helping news organizations, startups, NGOs, and other knowledge-driven teams turn AI into real products, workflows, and long-term capabilities.
