Background
About Troy Redding

Enterprise direction
Technology and executive leadership
I bring 13+ years of technology, data and digital leadership in regulated industries, a Master of Science in Data Science from the University of Colorado Boulder, and experience advising executives and boards on AI strategy, regulation, procurement, investment, risk and opportunities.
Team leadership and technical delivery
PolicySight Founder and Principal
As Founder and Principal of PolicySight, I hired and developed an 11 person multidisciplinary team of two computer scientists, three MBA team members and six lobbyists. I lead technical delivery and resource allocation across client engagements, connecting research, analytics and AI with executive decisions.
Adoption and operational AI
Applied AI at Metron
At Metron, I progressed from Data Analyst to Data Engineer to Applied AI Engineer reporting to the CTO. I built companywide AI and Power BI for schedules, materials, costs, risk and quality, led adoption and training across functions, and led the Data Task Force.
Evaluation and responsible controls
Production ML and grounded AI
My production ML work used leakage aware time splits, entity holdouts, explainability and human review. At PolicySight, I built client applications, data pipelines and multistep AI agents with source grounding, retrieval evaluation and hallucination checks, helping teams rely on inspectable evidence.
People leadership and executive counsel
Direct management at Baker Hughes
At Baker Hughes, I managed four direct reports and later four to six as a senior manager. I coordinated technical, legal and commercial work, advised regional presidents, business unit vice presidents and general counsel, and directed APCO Worldwide and other external specialists.
External change and alignment
Policy and coalition leadership
I have federal and Colorado lobbying experience. I advised the WCA board and policy committee and built coalitions of 20 or more participants, connecting policy analysis with organizational decisions. This experience informs how I assess regulation, procurement and stakeholder alignment.
What building PolicySight required
- Translate ambiguous policy and business questions into testable research workflows
- Design source grounded technical systems with evaluation and human review
- Coordinate technical, business and advocacy specialists around client outcomes
- Convert research into executive decisions, procurement choices and practical action
PolicySight connects technical delivery, team leadership and executive advice. It is part of how I approach research, systems, clients and decisions.
Why I built this sample
I wanted to show how I would approach the Director of AI Strategy & Adoption role in practice: understand the work, choose priorities, build useful systems, help people adopt them and measure whether they improve the business.
