Strategic Technology Leader & Innovation Architect

I believe technology should amplify human potential, not replace it. As CEO of Codygon, I'm leading a team of experts in building the future of business intelligence with Tower - an AI-native platform that transforms how enterprises think, decide, and act. Having guided digital transformation for Pfizer, Merck, and Saudi Aramco, I've learned that the most powerful innovations happen at the intersection of human insight and artificial intelligence.
