Schedule an appointment

I lead Avenity as CEO, working with industrial and energy firms to strengthen how their operational capability and certifications are evaluated in AI-driven search and procurement environments.

My background spans engineering design, enterprise PLM and ERP governance, offshore capital project quality, and ISO/API Q2 audit engagements. I have administered Windchill systems supporting 3,000+ engineering users, served on JD Edwards Design-to-Release ERP integration teams, worked on Transocean Generation 8 new-build drillships, and conducted regulated QMS audits aligned with ISO 9001 and API Q2 standards.

I bring enterprise audit discipline and systems thinking to AI-mediated visibility — ensuring industrial firms are interpreted accurately and competitively during early-stage buyer validation.
