Twenty years across HP, Monitor, and Deloitte — six builds spanning $40B+ of P&L. A strategy operator who designs the work and runs it through to outcome: market entry, PMF resets, $3B M&A, new category creation, and digital advertising platforms on 75M+ endpoints.
RUN DIAGNOSTIC→ SEE THE BUILDS↓The current discourse treats AI as a feature layer applied to existing products — a smarter assistant, a faster search, a better summary. The pattern in the field, including inside HP's NVIDIA work, suggests something more structural.
AI is producing genuinely new categories at the intersection of compute, surface, and use case — Physical AI, Edge AI, Agentic AI — rather than incremental capability inside the existing ones. The companies that win the next decade will not be the ones that bolt AI onto last decade's products.
They will be the ones that recognize when a category is being created — which requires re-asking who the customer is, what the value is, and where the structural advantage lives — and that have the operating discipline to build into that category before its boundaries become conventional.
Mazi doesn't just execute strategy — he builds businesses from nothing and makes them work.
I'm exploring my next chapter. The fit is a business that needs building, an organization that wants an operator who designs the strategy and runs it through, or a problem of real strategic consequence. If that describes the seat or the work, the conversation is the right place to start.
