PhD, DCM, MPH

I help federal agencies and executive leaders implement AI that's governed, equitable, and built to last — so the technology carries the weight and leaders carry the vision.

From policy strategy to operational implementation, our work spans the full AI governance lifecycle.

Named systems.
Trademarked architecture.
Federal-grade deployment.

Our governance architecture is not conceptual — it is structured into named, operational systems.

While others offer advice, SANCIAN LLC delivers infrastructure. Every framework is proprietary, tested, and deployed in the most demanding environments in the country.

After encountering governance failures that nearly compromised a federal contract, I built what the market lacked: structured AI governance infrastructure.

Today, SANCIAN LLC serves as a trusted advisor to federal health agencies and executive leaders navigating AI adoption. Every engagement is grounded in the same philosophy: governance first, equity always, and technology in service of human capacity — never the other way around.

A 7-Phase AI Governance & Adoption Framework built from 2,000+ federal deployment analyses and aligned to NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 23053 & 23894, PMBOK, and Kotter's Change Principles. Each phase ensures AI adoption aligns with governance, ethics, and measurable impact.

This isn't coaching.
It's architecture.

Six months to transform how you lead with AI — guided by the same methodology deployed in federal health agencies.

Most AI mentorship teaches you tools. This program teaches you systems. You'll learn AI governance, design mission-aligned AI architecture, and build a practice that scales — whether you're leading a federal program, a consulting firm, or a national initiative.

Every mentee begins with the full Cognitive Load Diagnostic — the same evidence-based assessment used in SANCIAN LLC's federal engagements — and Zone of Genius assessment. From there, we build your personalized AI integration roadmap, calibrate J.A.I.M.E.™ to your specific mission, and eliminate the invisible tax keeping you in busyness instead of business.
