AI and applied ethics since 2016.
I’ve spent the past 15 years working for and within publicly traded companies, startups, family offices, foundations, and mission-driven organizations. My “why”: helping artists, founders, and other visionaries realize their life’s work. I aim to do the best that I can with the information I have; build trust across difference for a net-better-off world; and create more beauty, hope, joy, and wonder that challenges and moves others toward their highest potential.
My most recent in-house role was as an Entrepreneur in Residence at Accenture Song, where I managed a portfolio of 200+ Generative AI initiatives, built governance frameworks for responsible AI, and led growth strategy engagements that identified over $3B in new revenue opportunities for Fortune 100 companies.
Prior to my EIR work, I founded and ran an advisory firm that served impact investors and social enterprises across four continents. I’ve raised over $7M for educational, entrepreneurship, and innovation initiatives, including a $1M Digital Learning Challenge focused on rapid solutions to the digital divide during COVID-19. Over the last decade, I’ve also provided courses and programming in arts, ethics, entrepreneurship, impact finance, innovation, and IP to hundreds of institutions across more than 20 countries.
Since the late 2000s, I’ve worked as an arts producer across festivals, film, and live performance. I continue to center creative opportunities at the intersection of culture and community, and currently collaborate regularly with multiple experimental theatre companies and programs in the greater New York City area. I’ve produced devised work and documentaries, programmed PechaKuchas and transdisciplinary salons, and been a stage manager, sound designer, and symposium facilitator for experimental theatremakers – all in service of helping artists and changemakers transform ideas into reality.
I hold an MA in ethics and applied philosophy, a BA in philosophy and theatre (University of North Carolina), and an MBA in responsible business (University of Oxford). I build, teach, and write about aesthetics, migration, performance studies, philosophy of language, technology ethics, and theatre.
