About

As VP of Global Strategy and GM of Customer Advisory Council at Phenom, I’m a technologist and an AI anthropologist. Topics I discuss regularly include AI legislation in HR, AI bias, generative AI, ChatGPT, AI hysteria and AI’s impact on jobs, among many others. One recent example is the Nasdaq roundtable regarding AI legislation where I was a panelist with Frida Polli, award-winning Harvard & MIT neuroscientist and Keith Sonderling, EEOC Commissioner. Another is the Fast Company article, entitled, “This is the job companies must create in 2024.” With previous roles in creative design and software development, I provide a unique perspective and ability to communicate complex technologies in business terms. I’m also an active pilot. After the tragic loss of my son, I run Kyle’s Wish Foundation — the only flight service in the country dedicated to helping those suffering from mental illness and addiction issues.
