Problem
Connect AI strategy to value-chain use cases in maintenance, supply, quality, and regulated productivity.
Role
AI leadership and enablement in a consulting context.
Approach
Value-chain analysis, use-case design, an MVP-to-scale path, and governance in regulated contexts.
Impact
Built enterprise AI areas from the ground up, translating strategy into scalable, governed adoption for a global industrial manufacturer, enabling approximately US$600M in annualized value through the global deployment of AI solutions across factories, and for the pharmaceutical sector, optimizing new drug launches from sales planning and field-force value realization to performance measurement and forecasting.
Lessons
In regulated industries, governance is what makes scale possible.
