Driving Purpose-Led Growth Through Board Excellence As a board director and IBM CTO, I help organizations navigate the intersection of technology, governance, and sustainable growth. With 25+ years across IBM, Bank of America, Al Rostamani Group, and PwC, I bring proven expertise in the areas boards care about most: digital transformation, AI, Cybersecurity resilience, and Stakeholder Capitalism. My board experience includes translating complex technology challenges into strategic opportunities amidst geopolitical shifts, cyberattacks and energy transition. I've guided organizations through digital transformations that delivered measurable results—including a 20% earnings surge and 30% EBITDA increase through innovative operating models and product-led growth strategies. What I Bring to the Boardroom: - Technology Governance: Aligning tech strategy with business priorities while overseeing emerging risks from AI, cyber threats, and geopolitical factors - Digital Resilience: Building adaptive capabilities that protect and accelerate growth in an uncertain world - Stakeholder Capitalism: Championing ethical technology practices that create value for all stakeholders Thought Leadership and Global Influence I host a monthly LinkedIn Live series on "AI and Digital Trust in Advancing Board Excellence," featuring conversations with governance luminaries including Bill George (Harvard Business School), Doug Conant (former Campbell Soup CEO), Dan Hesse (former Sprint CEO), Jeff Sloan (Former Global Payments CEO), Dennis Lockhart (former Atlanta Fed President), and Beverley Sibblies (Board Director Discover Financial Services), among others. My insights reach global audiences through 100+ LinkedIn articles and speaking engagements at NYU School of Law, NACD, NASDAQ, and other prestigious institutions. CEOs and boards worldwide seek my counsel on corporate purpose, profitable growth, and risk management.
