Experience
Vice President, AI Solutions Build Lead
Aug 2024 – Present
- Drive the firm's AI transformation, building custom internal- and client-facing applications on the OpenAI stack and owning each build from problem framing and prototyping through deployment and adoption.
- Led the solutions team in shipping 200+ AI workflows for Edelman's largest Fortune 500 accounts, with an average time saving of 50%.
- Beyond the OpenAI stack, lead the build of the team's own AI platform from scratch: Next.js and TypeScript, Vercel AI SDK and Mastra agents with MCP, RAG pipelines, and Python FastAPI services on Supabase and AWS infrastructure.
- Serve as the escalation point when production workflows break: debug logs and API errors, reproduce issues, and ship fixes hands-on, staying with account teams live until the problem is resolved.
- Rebuilt traditional PR and marketing workflows as faster, more consistent AI processes: press release writing, briefing book generation, influencer identification and vetting, media monitoring and reporting, and meeting transcription.
- Anchored the company-wide rollout of ChatGPT, personally building 50+ custom GPTs that have logged 100,000+ chats.
- Administer the firm's ChatGPT Enterprise and Microsoft Copilot workspaces across 5,000+ users, governing RBAC and safe use of AI, and acting as the go-to for troubleshooting access, connector, and GPT issues.
- Analyze user AI conversations systematically to find failure modes, tune GPTs and workflows, and report adoption to leadership; advise teams across the firm on where AI fits in how they work.
