A/01
AI strategy & adoption
From a first credible use case to AI agents running inside core, regulated processes, with the governance to keep them there.
Advisory
Six ways leadership teams put me to work.
From a single executive briefing to holding a transformation remit as a fractional executive. Each engagement is scoped around a decision you need to make and a result you can measure.
All advisory offerings
A/02
Enterprise transformation
Large programmes led as the single accountable executive, on an interim or fractional basis, until your organisation carries them alone.

Investment & portfolio governance
Decide what to fund, what to defer and what to stop, and keep technology spending tied to the strategy it is meant to serve.
A/04
Data & cloud platforms
Modernise the data and cloud foundations that AI depends on, at a cost the business can sustain.
A/05
Regulation & AI governance
Meet the EU AI Act, Data Act, DORA and CSRD with policies and controls that speed decisions up instead of slowing them down.
A/06
Growth advisory for consultancies
Shape the AI proposition, win the complex bid and build the practice that delivers it.
How a mandate runs
Four stages, each ending in a decision.
The order matters. Every stage gives the next one something it cannot start without, which keeps programmes from being built on choices nobody has made.
Stage 01
Diagnose
Conversations with the executives who own the outcome and the people who run the work, set against the numbers. You get the problem stated in one page, and you tell me where it is wrong.
Clarity Stage 02
Decide
Options with their cost, risk and return laid side by side, so the leadership team can choose what to fund, what to defer and what to stop.
Commitment Stage 03
Deliver
A roadmap with named owners and measures, governance light enough to be used, and me in the room as the accountable lead while it takes hold.
Momentum Stage 04
Hand over
Standards, playbooks and coaching, so your own people carry the work forward and the results outlast the engagement.
IndependenceFAQ
Asked before most mandates begin.
Something else on your mind?
Send a few lines about the decision or the event you have in view. You will get a straight answer on whether and how I can help.
Get in touchWho do you typically work with?
Boards, executive teams and the consultancies that serve them. Most of my work has been in financial services, automotive and manufacturing, and telecommunications and utilities, with further mandates in retail, healthcare and aviation.
Can you step in as an interim or part-time executive?
Yes. A good share of my work is fractional: holding a technology, data or transformation remit for a defined period, as the single accountable lead, until the organisation is ready to carry it without me.
Do you speak at conferences and company events?
Regularly. Alongside two TEDx talks I have spoken at conferences such as NDC Porto, AI DevWorld, DWX and SHRM Atlanta, and delivered more than 50 workshops and webinars reaching around 20,000 executives worldwide. Formats range from a main-stage keynote to a half-day working session with a leadership team.
Can you help us with AI regulation and compliance?
That is a core part of the work. I have put in place policies and guardrails for DORA, the EU AI Act and the EU Data Act, aligned to ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and NIS2, and built CSRD readiness roadmaps for banks.
Do you advise consultancies as well as their clients?
Yes. I help consulting firms shape their AI propositions, lead complex bids and structure deals, and build the practices that deliver them. I have incubated and scaled practices at Publicis Sapient and KPMG.
How does an engagement begin?
With a conversation about the decision in front of you. If I can help, you get a short written proposal with scope, outcomes and how we will measure them. If I am not the right person, I will say so.
Open to advisory mandates and keynote invitations
Facing a decision on AI or transformation that has to be right?
Tell me what is at stake, who has to be convinced and by when. Whether you need an advisor in the room or a voice on your stage, that is enough to start.
