How I run your AI and ERP program
Done on the plant floor, not in a lab. Here is how I would attack it.
1. Start where the P&L is
I target the money first: inventory and working capital, service and on-time delivery, expedite cost and the financial close. AI has to move those numbers to earn its place.
2. Govern it so it scales safely
Earned value, human-in-the-loop review, an agent registry, security and a cap on AI run cost. Agents that are controlled, auditable and predictable, not a science project.
3. Prove value in 90 days
A live control tower and outcome tracking from week one, so you see results and risk in real time and decide on evidence, not at the end.
Built to de-risk AI. Governance and human-in-the-loop, an agent registry, AI run-cost caps tracked against forecast, security and compliance from a patented background, and the adoption and change management that makes it stick.
Two strengths, one operator
Well planned is good. Delivered is better.
Enterprise AI, applied
Certified in Oracle AI Agent Studio. I have built and deployed AI agents for inventory reconciliation, supply-chain orchestration and finance automation, and stood up a real-time AI operations control tower across ERP, WMS and MES. Fluent in Snowflake and Databricks for data orchestration and ML pipelines.
Program leadership, governed
Five Oracle Fusion go-lives in five years, delivered on time and within budget. I run programs on earned value management with >97% budget accuracy and >90% milestone compliance, chair executive steering committees and govern multi-vendor SI teams of 25 to 60 across the Americas, EMEA and LATAM.

AI-Enabled Program Governance
Built a program governance control tower that tracks earned value, cost and schedule performance in real time, giving plant and executive leadership a single evidence based view of a $1B CPG transformation program.
- Ran live earned value management with PV, EV and AC, holding the program on budget at a favorable +$10K cost variance.
- Tracked CPI and SPI against stage gate criteria, flagging a $190K schedule variance early with a TCPI 1.04 recovery path.
- Drove bi-weekly SteerCo reporting and a RAID log so investment, risk and change decisions stayed evidence based.
Spyglass AI Operations Control Tower
Developed real-time operations visibility across ERP, WMS, SCADA/MES and procurement, turning fragmented signals into a single AI-assisted operations picture for plant and executive leadership.
- Improved line utilization by 10% and reduced overtime cost by 15%.
- Lowered expedited-order cost by 10% through earlier exception visibility.
- Automated KPI dashboards, cutting recurring status-meeting time.
AI Agents for Inventory Reconciliation
Designed, deployed and integrated enterprise-grade AI agents that automate reconciliation across ERP and warehouse systems. This is the work behind the Oracle AI Agent Studio certification.
- Automated repetitive reconciliation with agent orchestration and exception routing.
- Embedded governance and an agent registry to keep production AI compliant.
- Framework reused across inventory, transfer orchestration and finance close.
Network Security Devices & SaaS Platform
At Minestream Software I led technology strategy and global development for a line of stealthy reverse-firewall network devices that stopped information leaks at the network door, paired with a SaaS dashboard that surfaced security violations in real time.
- Led the design of stealthy reverse-firewall network devices that stopped information leaks at the network door, working in tandem with a SaaS-based dashboard.
- Architected an embedded-technology product strategy for a suite of internet safety devices, and built four consumer network-security appliances in 24 months.
- Named on an international technology patent featuring 65 claims, creating strategic advantage and an exit path in a competitive market.
- Managed global development and operations for an international engineering team across the U.S. and offshore.
- Cultivated device-manufacturer partnerships across the U.S., Israel and Taiwan that drove software performance, functionality and value.
- Oversaw security strategy consulting and integration on the highest-profile, multi-million-dollar accounts.
Outcomes & KPI Management
Programs measured to outcomes, not activity. Bars animate against the result achieved.
Outcomes that move the P&L
Every result here is tied to a dollar lever and tracked to a business case.
Higher inventory accuracy and 40% fewer cross-system mismatches mean less safety stock and fewer write-offs.
A 10% cut in expedited-order cost from earlier exception visibility.
15% lower overtime and reduced planner touch from automation and AI agents.
A 10% lift in line utilization protects throughput, service and margin.
How I run KPI & outcome management
Baseline each outcome and tie it to a dollar lever such as working capital, expedite avoidance, labor productivity or margin protection.
Track CPI, SPI and stage-gate criteria in a control tower, reviewed with steering committees on a fixed cadence.
Convert KPI movement into realized value, with incentive pools and stage gates keeping delivery honest.
