Forty Years, Six Technology Cycles
FOUNDER, SEVENTH WAVE CONSULTING
My career spans four decades operating at the heart of technological evolution, beginning with 1979 mainframes and moving through leadership roles at Metaphor, IBM, Teradata, and AWS to the current generative AI landscape. During this time, I developed Technology Cartographyâ„¢, a framework designed to help executives distinguish between productive technology investments and those masking critical gaps in organizational decision-making.
​
I offer practical expertise rather than abstract concepts. Having navigated six major tech cycles that echoed similar promises, I provide clients with the clarity needed to determine which processes can be safely automated by models and which initiatives demand the irreplaceable nuance of human expertise.
