AI Services Practice Leadership.

Own the vision, strategy, and P&L for the AI Services practice, establishing it as a differentiated, revenue-generating offering within our MSP portfolio.

Develop repeatable service offerings and delivery frameworks that apply AI to ITIL processes — including Incident Management, Problem Management, Change Enablement, Service Request, and Knowledge Management — across a diverse client base.

Define pricing models, packaging, and go-to-market strategy for AI-enabled ITSM services in collaboration with Sales and Marketing.

Build internal IP: playbooks, accelerators, and pre-configured AI assets on ServiceNow that reduce time-to-value for clients.

Client Engagement & Advisory.

Serve as the executive-level AI advisor to key clients, engaging C-suite and IT leadership stakeholders to assess maturity, identify opportunities, and co-create AI-driven ITSM roadmaps.

Lead discovery workshops and maturity assessments to baseline clients’ current ITSM and AI capabilities.

Present business cases and ROI models for AI investments to client executives, translating technical capabilities into tangible outcomes (e.g., MTTR reduction, ticket deflection rates, cost avoidance).

Maintain trusted advisor relationships across a portfolio of accounts, ensuring client satisfaction and identifying expansion opportunities.

ServiceNow AI Delivery.

Oversee the architecture and delivery of ServiceNow AI solutions for clients: Now Assist, Virtual Agent, Predictive Intelligence, ITOM AIOps, NLU, and generative AI integrations. Govern integrations between ServiceNow and external AI platforms (e.g., Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Anthropic) to extend client capabilities.

Establish delivery standards and quality assurance processes to ensure consistent, best-practice implementation across all client engagements.

Drive adoption of AI-powered ServiceNow features that measurably reduce client operational burden and improve end-user experience.
