The Origin Story

My journey didn't start in a strategy boardroom. It started in theoretical physics and deep software engineering at Panasonic, directly building complex systems.

I subsequently transitioned into data science and took on AI leadership positions across Amazon, AWS, and now Google Cloud. I hold an M.Sc. in Physics and an MBA from London Business School, which allows me to seamlessly translate complex mathematical AI concepts into highly actionable board-level strategy.

Beyond my professional roles, I am actively engaged in the local AI/ML community, continuing my commitment to raising the technical baseline and fostering open knowledge sharing.
