THE HUMAN ADVANTAGE
IN AN AI-DRIVEN WORLD
In a landscape flooded with AI-generated ideas and templated strategy, the real differentiator is human judgment.
I bring two decades of operational, cultural, and experiential insight that no algorithm can replicate, helping leaders make clearer decisions, shape stronger narratives, build brands and experiences grounded in reality, not automation.
Real experience. Real clarity. Real results.
That’s the difference.
