AI moves at the speed of technology.
Adoption moves at the
speed of people.
I help leaders close the gap.
Organizations are investing heavily in AI — tools, training, governance, change management. And still, adoption is uneven. The usual explanations aren't solving it because the real barriers are psychological, not technical — and almost nobody is measuring them.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
Diagnostics, advisory, and strategic frameworks for the human side of AI adoption.
ADVISORY
Power Hour
Focused sessions for people leaders, AI leads, and transformation teams navigating adoption challenges. Bring a specific situation — a resistance pattern, uneven adoption across departments, a rollout decision you need a second opinion on. Leave with a clear next step.
ORGANIZATIONAL DIAGNOSTIC
AIRE
Your adoption data tells you what. AIRE tells you why. A rapid behavioral diagnostic that surfaces where AI adoption will break down — by department, by barrier — with a 90-day intervention roadmap. Delivered in under five weeks. [Learn More]
INTERACTIVE
Workshops
Interactive sessions for leadership teams and cross-functional groups. Designed to surface hidden adoption barriers, build shared language around readiness, and align on intervention priorities. Custom-scoped to your organization.
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Speaking & Panels
The expert voice on the human side of AI adoption. I join executive panels, leadership offsites, and industry convenings to reframe the adoption conversation — from "how do we get people to use AI" to "what's actually in the way." Available for conferences, roundtables, small groups, and foundation portfolio events.
WHO I WORK WITH
Different seats at the table. Same invisible problem.
-
I give external consultants and advisory firms board-ready data on where their clients' adoption is breaking down and why — delivered in under five weeks.
-
I work with people leaders, internal AI consultants, and transformation leads to surface the barriers slowing adoption — before they show up in your ROI.
-
Standardized measurement across your portfolio. I help foundations see which communities and worker populations risk being left behind in the AI transition.
Founder, Alpenglow Insights
Every role I've held has been about the same fundamental challenge: diagnosing why people resist change, building systems to meet them where they are, and measuring whether it works.
I started my career as a Navy psychologist running organizational diagnostics in high-stress operational environments. I went to the commanders, surfaced what they couldn't see, and closed every engagement with actionable recommendations to leadership.
That same discipline now applies to the defining challenge of this era: helping organizations adopt AI without leaving their people behind.
