…AI & Innovation Leadership

As Co-Founder and President of Virgent AI, I help businesses make the leap from AI-curious to AI-powered. We design and develop enterprise-grade AI agents and AI-enabled business solutions that transform how companies operate.

The rise of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI represents the biggest innovation wave since the internet. AI will disrupt every business workflow within the next 24–36 months. At Virgent AI, we serve as both a strategic thought partner and a development arm for forward-thinking leaders—helping them:

• Unlock new levels of human agency

• Solve real-world business problems

• Gain a powerful competitive edge

Brand Repositioning Expert

My brand strategy journey began at Prudential, where I played a key role in their award-winning brand repositioning. Today, as founder of Disruptive CEO Advisory, I’ve worked with over 1,000+ brands across SaaS, services, and emerging tech.

I developed the proprietary U.N.I.Q.U.E Method™, a proven strategic framework that transforms brands from commodities to category leaders. This process has helped founders:

• Achieve strategic alignment

• Unlock intentional growth

• Transform business models

• Drive $100M+ in revenue

Community Building & Industry Ecosystems

I’m passionate about creating growth ecosystems that empower the next generation of industry disruptors.

• Co-Chair & Head of Growth for DC Startup Week, the largest entrepreneurial community in the DMV region

• Startup Advisor to growth-stage companies

• Board Member at Codespa America

• Podcast Host of From Spaghetti to Growth Business—featuring founder stories and insights on AI, growth, and scale

• International Speaker on brand strategy, AI innovation, and entrepreneurial growth

Why This Mission Matters

In the 1990s, my parents’ businesses nearly went bankrupt—forever changing our lives. I’ve spent my career seeking the missing growth formula to help founders rise above commoditization.

At first, I believed differentiation was the key. But today’s AI revolution reveals a deeper truth: my parents’ businesses failed to adapt to the digital transformation of the internet era. Now, I help companies reposition, scale, and thrive in an AI-powered world—closing the loop on a very personal journey.
