Enterprise AI Enablement: Tyson Foods

SUMMARY
When Tyson Foods needed someone to lead its enterprise AI transformation, I was asked to build the function from the ground up. I architected the end-to-end AI Enablement strategy and designed the program infrastructure to scale it across a 100,000+ person global organization. At the center of the effort was the AI Hub — a centralized, self-serve resource that gave team members a clear on-ramp to understanding AI, getting started, and building hands-on skills. I partnered with Corporate Training to design foundational learning programs, and forged cross-functional alignment to ensure adoption was scalable and built to last. Building on that foundation, we launched the AI Champions Program — an enterprise-wide community of embedded advocates who surface real use cases, drive peer-to-peer collaboration, and extend the team's reach without sacrificing quality or consistency. This is what AI enablement actually looks like in practice: not just a platform, not just a training course, but a community of empowered people shaping how a global organization works smarter.

IMPACT
500+ unique users reached within 72 hours of the AI Hub launch. Foundational learning programs earned a 5-star satisfaction rating across the organization. AI Champions Program established a force multiplier model, enabling responsible AI adoption at scale across the entire enterprise. Formally recognized by the Chief Technology Officer for Exceptional Leadership in driving organizational readiness for AI transformation.
