Disruption isn’t new — pace is. AI isn’t replacing leaders; it’s amplifying the ones who evolve.

State & Signal exists to help teams navigate that evolution with clarity, confidence, and integrity. We cut through noise, align people, reshape workflows, and bring strategy back to the center of decision-making — all while using AI as a catalyst for smarter, faster progress.

We don’t automate your business.
We help your business think — together, cross-functionally, and strategically — so the right moves become obvious.

OUR MISSION

We turn possibility into progress. We align AI with your goals, constraints, and culture so experiments become outcomes — and outcomes scale.

VISION

Make progress obvious and accessible. When clarity is shared and workflows make sense, teams execute faster, smarter, and with more joy. AI becomes not a threat or a buzzword — but a force multiplier for meaningful work.

We work with leadership teams to:

Build organizational clarity and alignment
Strengthen decision-making with AI-enabled insights
Elevate AI literacy and confidence across teams
Reveal real workflows, friction, and opportunities
Reshape processes using human-in-the-loop collaboration
Design a build-ready, prioritized Scope of Work
Connect you with the right vetted AI builder — and oversee the handoff

Every engagement is bespoke.
Every outcome is grounded in how your business actually works.

For 20+ years, I’ve helped growth-minded teams focus, align, and accelerate. My specialty is bottlenecks — the political, structural, or human blockers that keep organizations from moving forward. I find them, name them, and turn them into momentum.

I’m at my best inside complexity:
cross-functional problems, high-stakes strategy, leadership alignment, and organizational change that requires both courage and clarity. Business is my hobby, my talent, and my joy (weird, I know).

Underneath all of it is integrity and loyalty. They’ve carried me through every era of change — before mobile, before social, before AI — and they’re why I work with a tight, loyal crew of mavericks who back each other and the work. The model may look “fractional,” but the commitment is anything but.
