About

Before data, I worked in finance and accounting. That background shaped something I have never lost: the instinct to ask what a number is actually supposed to do for the person looking at it.

About me

Expertise

Four areas, one through-line: turning AI ambition into accountable, measurable business outcomes.

01 / Area

AI Governance and Responsible AI

Operating models, policy frameworks, and risk controls that let organizations move fast on AI without losing oversight. Build the guardrails before the headlines.

02 / Area

Data and AI Strategy

Multi-year roadmaps that connect AI investment to executive priorities, organizational readiness, and clear measures of value. Strategy that survives contact with reality.

03 / Area

Analytics Transformation and Delivery

Standing up modern data platforms, analytics products, and the delivery discipline to ship them. From foundational architecture to the team rituals that compound.

04 / Area

Executive Advisory and Organizational Capability

Coaching senior leaders through data and AI decisions, and building the internal capability so the organization stops needing the consultant in the room.
