I lead AI strategy, digital transformation, and enterprise technology at Leon Capital Group — a Dallas-based investment firm operating across Healthcare, Real Estate, and Capital Markets. With over 25 years of experience, I translate emerging technology into measurable competitive advantage.
I've spent over 25 years leading technology and innovation across some of the most complex and regulated industries in the world — Healthcare, Real Estate, and Capital Markets — along with Government, Banking, Aviation, Oil & Gas, Hospitality, and Retail. What's driven me throughout is a simple belief: technology should transform businesses, not just support them.
As Chief Technology & Innovation Officer at Leon Capital Group, I lead our AI strategy, digital transformation, and enterprise technology vision — turning emerging innovation into real competitive advantage in capital markets. My perspective is shaped by solving hard problems across healthcare systems, real estate operations, and financial services — industries where the stakes are high, the complexity is real, and the margin for error is low.
The best technology leaders are translators. I sit between executive strategy and technical execution, making sense of what's possible and turning it into what's profitable. That's what I've done across Healthcare, Real Estate, and Capital Markets for over two decades — and it's what I'm most passionate about.
