01 / Founder, TIEx LLC

September 2025 to present

I founded TIEx LLC, The Insights Exchange, to help organizations use insights to develop growth strategies and improve decision making. I advise on AI transformation and support startups working with insights and AI.

I work with leaders on how decisions are made, which data and technology will support them, and what needs to change in their teams. This includes capabilities, structure and the way people work together.

I believe decisions need to be informed by data and insights, with people responsible for judgment and action. My aim is to help teams use consumer understanding in their everyday work and in the strategies they develop for growth.

02 / Creator

The Infinity Growth Loop

I created The Infinity Growth Loop, an interconnected double loop that shows how AI and human insights can improve each other.

AI can make research and analysis more efficient. Insights help us define problems, design more useful AI systems and improve how they are used. Both contribute to productivity and better business decisions. I believe domain experts need to take an active role in this work.

The framework has been featured in Forbes and presented at Harvard Business School. I develop these ideas in my Sparks series and share them through industry and academic discussions.
