I help organisations think clearly about AI.

Advisor, not vendor. Ideas before offerings.

Twenty-five years across creative engineering, content, and AI. I sit just inside the decision with founders, MDs, and boards, connecting opinion to fact and translating what matters into actions the organisation can actually take. Embedding AI shouldn't mean procuring new suppliers and platforms, or onboarding permanent hires to run it. Everything we do is designed to be handed over: we build the infrastructure together, growing AI capability and experience in your existing talent. That individuality remains your commercial delta.
