My operating thesis is the AI Reality Gap: the distance between what enterprise AI promises in a demo and what survives in production. Most enterprise AI fails not on model quality but on the operational realities — data, governance, integration, and trust — that pilots ignore. My writing traces this throughline from hype to pragmatism.

I don't talk about AI — I ship it. Every framework I've built, from JAI at JAGGAER to the XO Platform at Kore.ai, went into production with enterprise SLAs, not demo environments. My core philosophy is singular: Close the gap between what AI promises and what it actually delivers in the enterprise.
