About Brian

Senior judgment.
Modern AI fluency.

I'm a product executive who has spent 15+ years at the intersection of technology, data, and business strategy — from Visa's first production GenAI workflow to Fortune 500 transformations at Deloitte to platform modernization at LightBox and CoreLogic.

My value isn't hours of effort. It's the ability to structure ambiguous problems, make faster decisions, reduce wasted build effort, and deliver real outcomes — with AI as an accelerator throughout.
