An entrepreneurial leader helping nonprofits build the understanding and confidence to adopt AI responsibly. I bring decades of software and IT experience, now focused on making emerging technologies accessible and ethical for mission-driven organizations.
Workshops, sprints, and one-on-one coaching for nonprofits navigating AI adoption — from policy and ethics to practical, mission-aligned use.
Numerous talks and keynotes reaching hundreds of nonprofit leaders on AI strategy, ethics, environmental impact, and responsible implementation.
StrefaTECH — over a hundred articles on AI and technology for the social sector, written for practitioners who are curious but not necessarily technical.
A sample of recent engagements.
My roots are in engineering and software — I hold an M.S. in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from Penn State, and spent years in technical leadership roles including VP of Engineering at a pioneering simulation software company and Director of IT at Eaton, a Fortune 500 global manufacturer.
For the past decade I've been all-in on the nonprofit sector, advising organizations of all sizes on technology strategy, CRM, and now AI — serving as a volunteer, board member, and trusted advisor to dozens of mission-driven organizations.
"I spent decades in technical leadership before pivoting fully to the nonprofit sector — which means I can translate between the engineering mindset and the mission-driven world."
I'm always happy to meet people doing thoughtful work at the intersection of technology and mission. Whether you're exploring a collaboration, looking for a speaker, or just want to compare notes — reach out.
