Today I decided that my next professional chapter will be building AI-native ventures.

The decision comes from experience. I have been an Agile practitioner since 2003\. By the time Agile became a corporate priority, I already had years of hands-on practice behind me. That experience gave me a point of view I could not have developed by watching from the outside.

I see a similar moment with generative AI. My final day at work will be August 28, and I want to give myself time to learn by doing—to get my hands dirty building AI-native startups, not only reading or talking about them. The venture may work or it may not. Of course I want it to work, but either outcome will give me real experience. That learning is the most important part of the decision I am making now.
