I've spent more than 20 years building, launching and selling software products, including an email security company I co-founded and sold. Today I build AI systems for my own teams, and I'm bringing that experience into executive education: how AI is changing the way work gets done, and how to bring people along.
Helping companies take the procedures they already follow and hand the repeatable parts to AI, so people spend their time on judgment calls.
Running seven AI agents, each with a product management role, across all my projects. I'm documenting where they help and where a human still has to step in.
An AI skill that walks teams through customer problem discovery using Teresa Torres's continuous discovery and Opportunity Solution Trees, with a learn mode for teaching the method.
Working on a team that is developing AI courses for Massachusetts workers and employers, and taking part in a fireside chat for an executive education program.
After 20 years of building and selling software companies, I'm moving into executive education. My focus is AI and workforce development: helping leaders decide what AI should take on and how to prepare their people for it. I also know the delivery side: I designed and built a learning platform with a course builder, video lessons and assessments.
A conversation with executives about putting AI to work inside real companies, drawn from what I'm building and testing now.
I'm on a team developing AI courses that help Massachusetts workers and employers adapt as AI changes their jobs.
Mapping existing workflows, picking the first processes to automate, and measuring whether it worked.
Which tasks move to AI, how job descriptions change, and how to reskill the team you already have.
Finding the customer problem worth solving before building, using continuous discovery with AI assistance.
Customer discovery, pilot design, kill criteria and pivots, from someone who has made those calls with his own company.
Leading product management for client engagements.
Automating businesses' existing workflows and standard operating procedures with AI.
A marketplace that sends foodservice buyers a curated weekly drop of emerging snack and beverage brands. Buyers in micro-markets, vending, convenience, hospitality and campus dining can review brands, message them and request samples.
A booking platform for digital out-of-home advertising. Advertisers find screen locations on a map, check availability and book placements.
Digital membership and entry passes that live in customers' phone wallets. Spun out of EntryBloom as a standalone product.
Member onboarding software for fitness studios, climbing gyms and outdoor activity companies, with digital waivers for guests and minors.
Product and engineering work for clients in IoT, optical retail and education.
Led a team of five product managers after the acquisition of Red Earth Software. Launched the Lennio spinoff.
Email security for small and midsize businesses running Microsoft Exchange. Started from conversations with network administrators and CIOs and grew to a worldwide customer base. Built a migration tool that moved customers off competing products in under five minutes, which cut setup tickets and raised trial conversions.
Students and faculty are building ventures in the middle of the biggest change to knowledge work in decades. I've co-founded three companies, sold one, run product inside the acquirer, served as CTO, and killed products when the evidence said to. I still write code every week.
As an entrepreneur in residence, I want to give founders on campus the operator's view: how to find a real problem, test it cheaply, and use AI to move faster without fooling themselves.
I'm open to executive education, guest lectures, speaking, and entrepreneur-in-residence roles.
