Commercial Strategy and Partnerships
Creative, scalable, together. The adoption of frontier technology is wrought with long cycle problems, some are well understood and others need a more novel approach. After years implementing these solutions and building a network of people and companies to solve these challenges- I want to bring my learnings to the next generation of world changing technology.

Problem: Polygraph tests are inadmissible in court and in the absence of hard evidence or confessions the default deception metric is "vibes". This results in wrongful convictions and wasted time.
Outcome: A computer vision enabled deception detection software that groups body movements with vocal strain and other video based factors to determine a level of confidence in a subjects answer to a question.
BlinkBox
Problem: Multi-day events where a person needs to be in a physical space by choice or by circumstance induces a huge amount of waste.
Outcome: A hyper mobile capsule hotel, able to be dropped in batches with minimal amenities, allows people to maximize their days-per-dollar in a location by "Body Docking" during the 8 hour rest period.

Problem: Even though sensors are getting finer resolution and more data from the world is captured, the data demands of AI will outpace what is possible to collect without synthetic content.
Outcome: Ultra-cold, ultra secure data storage. Data we think is useless now will not be tomorrow. By storing this data in hardened subsurface storage centers we have the ability to revisit and reuse real organic data before jumping to simulated training data.
How I Think
- •Revenue drives all strategy.
- •Execution wins over plans.
- •Measure leverage, not effort.
- •Data informs, judgment decides.
- •Use every advantage.
