Enterprise Data & AI Leader

I build data & AI that ships.

Eleven years building and running the data & AI function in regulated energy — from the business problem all the way to production.
Kaleb Thompson

What I do

Where I’m at my best

Build solutions, not just platforms

Not only data & AI platforms (Snowflake, Databricks) — the full applications on top that solve the real business problem, built end to end.

Ship applied AI with a business case

Production AI and ML tied to real outcomes — not science projects. If it doesn’t move the business, it’s not worth shipping.

Bring a product & finance lens

I treat data and AI as products, and I care whether the work pays for itself.

Lead — and still build

I set strategy and grow teams — and I still step in and build when it’s needed.

Domain

A decade in regulated energy

From NRG Energy to ONE Gas, I’ve spent 11+ years building data and AI inside regulated energy and utilities — where compliance, auditability, and safety-critical outcomes aren’t features, they’re table stakes. I’ve shipped public-safety ML, owned regulatory and revenue-recognition data products, and built AI governance across three separately regulated gas utilities.
