My Resume

SUMMARY

I’m a senior executive communications strategist and AI thought partner with over two
decades of experience shaping narratives at the forefront of technological change — including roles as a foreign correspondent in the Balkans before entering the corporate spheres of IBM, VMware, D-Wave Quantum, and CLEAResult.

Alongside my enterprise career, I am the founder of Raizon-8 and a facilitator of workshops that explore the intersection of AI, creativity, spirituality and human development. I brings a unique perspective that bridges strategic communications, emerging technology, and inner inquiry.

I’m known for bridging rigorous editorial judgment with deep listening, systems awareness, and integration-oriented storytelling. I bring a rare ability to translate complex, liminal, or culturally sensitive subjects—psychedelic medicine, end-of-life care, AI, and consciousness-adjacent work—into grounded, ethical, and audience-attuned narratives.

I’m adept at working with founders, clinicians, policymakers, and technologists to articulate stories that build trust, reduce stigma, and support responsible adoption.
