Senior engineers lead the work.
Every Soligence engagement is led by senior engineers. No offshore handoff. No junior bench. The people who design your AI system are the people who build it, test it, ship it, and stay accountable for whether it works inside the business.
Leadership team
Adam founded Soligence to help enterprises move from AI experimentation to AI capability they can build, operate, and own. He brings 25+ years partnering with business and technology leaders to turn strategy into enterprise execution, most recently at Microsoft as a Managing Director of Customer Success, where he led generative AI programs from strategy through production and shaped cloud strategy across major Azure portfolios for some of the company's largest global accounts.
Earlier, Adam spent eight years as a Corporate Vice President at New York Life, leading enterprise modernization programs including the integration of a $6B acquisition delivered with zero business interruption during the COVID-19 pandemic. He began his career delivering global technology programs at IBM Global Business Services and Deloitte, and in investment banking at Citigroup.
Adam holds an MBA from Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management and a BS in Computer Information Systems from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business. He holds multiple Microsoft certifications in AI, cybersecurity, and cloud platforms and is a member of InfraGard, the FBI's public-private partnership for critical infrastructure protection.
A senior engineering bench built for production AI.
Soligence clients work with experienced practitioners, not a thin delivery layer. The team brings decades of combined experience across enterprise systems, applied AI, cloud platforms, data architecture, product engineering, and operational delivery. They are platform-agnostic, fluent across the major hyperscalers and AI labs.
Chris leads insurance modernization and the repeatable AI solutions Soligence delivers across the firm, including our AI Factory, the senior engineering team and agent workflows behind every custom system we ship.
He brings 30+ years in technology, including 23 years at Microsoft, most recently as a Principal Software Engineer.
Architects of Production AI
Senior engineers who design AI systems around enterprise realities: identity, permissions, latency, data residency, auditability, cost, and support. They connect RAG, agents, and model-driven workflows to the systems companies already run: ERPs, CRMs, data platforms, and identity providers.
Hands-On AI Builders
Practitioners who ship working systems: RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, assistants, evaluation harnesses, and user-facing interfaces. They build the controls, feedback loops, and integration paths that turn AI prototypes into adopted products.
Operators & Stewards
Engineers who run AI like production software: CI/CD for prompts and models, observability, eval-driven release gates, drift monitoring, cost controls, and the governance that makes risk and ownership clear inside the business.
Applied AI research for real-world adoption.
Soligence Labs turns frontier AI practice into client-ready methods: applied research that feeds directly into the systems our engineers build and run.
Josh leads applied research at Soligence Labs, the team that builds, breaks, and refines AI systems on Soligence's own operations before they reach clients. His focus is the human side of agentic AI: how people evaluate, trust, and work alongside intelligent systems, and how to turn that into sharper agents, stronger training, and clearer guidance for the customers who adopt them.
He comes to Soligence from years of university research and teaching, most recently as a professor at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and a visiting scholar at the Wharton School. His work on creativity, decision-making, and human–AI collaboration has appeared in leading management journals and been featured in The New York Times. At Soligence, that experience anchors the Elevate training program and shapes how systems like Solena are tuned around the people who use them.
Advisory board
The Soligence advisory board extends the firm's perspective on enterprise transformation, technology markets, and regulated-industry execution.
David brings 30+ years of enterprise technology and operating leadership across financial services and startups. As SVP and Head of Technology at New York Life, and earlier in executive roles at Prudential and Cigna, he led modernization across digital platforms, data and analytics, and cybersecurity in complex, regulated environments. His perspective helps Soligence ground AI strategy in enterprise reality, risk management, and execution.
He has also co-founded two technology startups (Mi8, an early pioneer in hosted Exchange services, and Qv21, a transportation management software provider), giving him experience on both the enterprise and builder side of technology transformation. Today, as Investment Partner at Brewer Lane, he applies that mix of operating and growth experience to portfolio company scaling and technology strategy.
Roxanne brings 40 years of frontline experience observing how technology improvements shape the wider economy and society. From predicting long-term low interest rates and inflation in the 1990s, to calling the dot-com bubble, to predicting in 2002 how the wireless internet would emerge from the dot-com bust and usher in a new era of growth, Roxanne focuses on the more profound, long-term effects of disruptive new technologies. With deficits and environmental degradation both growing at unsustainable rates, Roxanne expects AI to replace essentially all workflows developed since automation started in earnest in the 1940s, leapfrogging productivity enough to sustain prosperity. She expects that shift to be disruptive economically, socially, and politically.
For 23 years Roxanne wrote The High Tech Observer, a private service to large investment institutions focusing on the longer term socio-economic impacts of techonomic change, allowing them to take and hold unusually large and profitable positions in emerging companies. Predicting the wireless internet 5 years before the introduction of the iPhone proved particularly profitable. Before that, she had extensive manufacturing experience at GE, followed by experience financing the move of that same manufacturing to Asia. Today she advises a range of organizations. Roxanne earned her BS-EE from the University of Tennessee in 1980 and an MBA from UVA in 1985.
Let's build something real.
Start with an intro call. We'll tell you honestly if AI fits your situation and propose the right engagement for your stage and constraints.
Intro call
30 to 45 minutes. You describe the bottleneck; we tell you honestly whether AI is the right lever and what discovery would cover. No slide deck, just a working conversation.
Discovery
Two to four weeks. We interview your team and review the workflows, data, and controls, then deliver a readout, a written report on where AI can help, and a priced proposal: for each project, its cost, the result it targets, how you’ll measure it, and when you can expect to see results. Starts at $5K, credited in full toward project work that begins within 60 days.
Project work
Custom software and modernization by our AI Factory, the senior engineering team and agent workflows behind every custom system we ship. Structured as a fixed-scope sprint, a multi-phase build, an ongoing operations partnership, or fractional AI leadership.
Most AI Factory engagements follow this pattern. Solena is an annual subscription with its own path: a conversation, a demo, signing, then implementation and setup. See how we work.
