Human intelligence.
I’m a cognitive scientist and product leader. For over twenty years I’ve pursued one question: what is human intelligence? Most recently I led AI research at Salesforce; today I write, speak, and advise investors and coaching clients.

My limited coaching practice is for those who believe the most unconventional perspective in the room is the most valuable.
