Where strategy meets implementation
I bring two decades of commercial and operational experience to emerging technology—so the work begins with the people, risks and systems already in the room.
The goal is not automation for its own sake. It is better judgment, stronger visibility and practical capacity without losing the human layer.
Selected work
I design and build AI systems for real operational friction—combining practical automation, measurable capacity, and human judgment across growing companies and complex organizations.
A bookkeeping agent that finds invoices in your email, files them into folders, matches them to your bank statements and keeps a master spreadsheet ready for your accountant — then keeps doing it every month.
A role-based induction app that lets new employees learn at their own pace, complete a policy assessment and produce proof of completion — without taking the team away from their day-to-day work. Enterprise-style onboarding, now practical for SMB budgets.
OICA is a product we are building to check that the reasoning behind critical decisions is captured, tested with successors and signed off — before a restructure or role change is treated as complete. It combines AI agents, time-aware knowledge graphs and verifiable credentials.
A governance-first approach to legal AI, paired with practical matter-control workflows across Clio and Microsoft 365. The work maps risk, standardizes intake and oversight, and keeps verification in human hands.
A multi-region initiative designed to understand sanctioned and shadow AI use, protect sensitive research, and translate responsible-AI principles into living governance that teams can actually use.
The Artiste Opportunity Agent helps management teams discover and qualify bookings, sponsorships, collaborations and licensing leads — then track contracts, invoices, payments and follow-ups through to an outcome. It is the first in a wider music-industry product suite launching in February 2027.

About Resa
I am Head of AI & Emerging Technologies at Quantum AI R&D and a DBA candidate researching Generative AI at Golden Gate University.
Before this chapter, I helped shape HubSpot's global partner ecosystem, co-founded and exited a Diamond-tier agency, and spent more than twenty years building the systems behind growth.
