Alex, by the numbers
As former Managing Director of Innovation Strategy and Head of Global Innovation Centers at Cisco, Alex ran innovation centers across 14 countries, managing a $1.1B portfolio that generated $400M+ in revenue. When he talks about building AI-ready organizations, it's what he actually did — not a framework from a consulting deck.
310+ keynotes, workshops & advisory engagements
Enterprise AI adoption advice is worth paying for when it comes from someone who has run AI at scale, owned the budget, and has no product to sell. As former Managing Director of Innovation Strategy and Head of Global Innovation Centers at Cisco, Alex ran a $1.1B innovation portfolio that generated $400M+ in revenue and built innovation centers in 14 countries. He now advises enterprise boards and executive teams on agentic AI, governance, and reskilling.
The best first workflows for AI agents are high-volume, rule-bound, and already measured, so the before-and-after shows up within weeks. Alex screens candidates on four tests: volume you can count, a named business owner, tolerable blast radius if the agent gets it wrong, and a cycle-time number finance already tracks. Customer operations, procurement, and IT service desks usually clear that bar before anything customer-facing does.
Alex treats AI governance as the mechanism that lets agentic AI reach production: written limits on what an agent may decide alone, a named human accountable for each one, and audit trails a risk committee can actually read. He advises the California State University system — 22 campuses and 460,000 students — on AI strategy and governance.
