VP, AI & Automation

Who you are

You’re a rare blend of technologist, practice builder, and go-to-market leader—someone who can see where AI is going, translate that into compelling client outcomes, and build the internal capabilities to deliver consistently at a high bar.

You have excellent technical depth across modern AI systems and a strong intuition for where the market is headed. You can engage deeply on AI architecture, data strategy, security, model/tool selection, evaluation, and operationalization while also zooming out to shape service offerings, accelerate sales motions, and grow a high-performing team.

You’re equally comfortable in a whiteboard session with senior engineers as you are in a room with client executives. You are credible, pragmatic, and persuasive. You communicate clearly, manage expectations well, and can defend technical and strategic choices with confidence.
