Turning AI enthusiasm into enterprise execution.
I'm Ike Kangarlou — an enterprise AI and program leader helping executive teams build AI strategy, launch AI-powered products, and drive measurable adoption at scale.
A program leader for the AI era.
I partner with executive leadership across healthcare, financial services, media, and enterprise technology to translate emerging AI capabilities into measurable business outcomes.
My work spans AI strategy, governance, adoption, and product delivery — from facilitating C-suite workshops to shipping AI-powered products like First Pitch and PISMO. I've built enterprise portfolios exceeding $10M and driven $35M+ in operational savings throughout my career.
"Successful AI transformation is driven by people, process, governance, and measurable business outcomes — not technology alone."
