High tech, deep human
I’ve spent my career learning kinds of intelligence that didn’t show up on any resume — the sensory kind (tasting 200 cheeses in a row and knowing which farm the milk came from), the relational kind (reading a room faster than any analytics dashboard), the strategic kind (scaling a mission-driven brand without losing the mission).
Now I work at the intersection of AI and human intelligence. Not because I pivoted to tech, but because tech finally caught up to the question I’ve been living: what are humans actually good at, and what happens when a machine gets good at the rest?
I think the answer is bigger than most people are willing to sit with. And I think sitting with it is exactly the point.
The path
Not a straight line.

Every chapter was a different form of intelligence. I didn’t have words for that at the time. Now I do.
