I founded C5T & Company to create strategic operating systems for the AI era, helping organizations turn strategy into action by aligning human and machine collaboration. I deliver the CREATE FIVE TENSIONS™ (C5T™) — a practice infrastructure for AI-era facilitation and transformation..

I also developed the Cloud Engagement Model, connecting vision, execution, and results across digital initiatives, and authored Innovate Now: A Guide to Coaching, Workshop, and Facilitation, a practical playbook for leaders driving innovation through collaboration.

I'm always learning. Here's what's shaped how I work:

• IDEO U's Change Leadership Certificate — human-centered systems thinking
• MIT Sloan's Executive Certificate — AI and business strategy
• Stanford LEAD program — innovation and leadership
• MBA from OU Business School — creativity, innovation, change
• Professional certifications — Strategyzer, Scaled Agile, Scrum Alliance, and more
• Teaching — Adjunct Professor at Mediadesign University
• Mentoring — early-stage startups at Startupbootcamp and Lean Startup

Now, I’m focused on embedding AI x Design Thinking into how organizations actually work, using the C5T™ Operating System as the backbone.

I develop frameworks, facilitate workshops, and design strategies for AI adoption that turn ideas into action.
