Meet Tom QuinnFounder - Alpha Advisory AI

After celebrating my youngest son’s graduation from college, it was finally my turn to return to academia. So, my wife and I sold the house in the suburbs, rented an apartment in Jersey City, and the adventure began.

In the fall of 2024, I was a first-year graduate student at Columbia University in the School of Professional Studies, pursuing a degree in Information and Knowledge Management. In January 2026, I will complete my degree and embark on some combination of the following:

  • The Implementation of Human-Centered AI
  • Digital Transformation & Change Management
  • Coaching, Mentoring, Motivating, Inspiring
  • Agentic AI, Consumer Agents & Agent Space

Life-long learner
