Description

I'm a senior independent consultant with over 10 years delivering large-scale AI, automation, and digital transformation programmes across multiple industries(Financial services, Telco, Energy, Public sector, Retail). I've worked with some of the most complex, regulated organisations in the UK — helping executive teams turn bold digital ambitions into real, measurable outcomes.

My career spans Accenture, Cognizant, and Wipro, where I've operated at the intersection of business strategy and technology delivery. I've led programmes valued up to £30m, directed globally distributed teams of 60+, managed budgets exceeding £10m, and delivered over £50m in measurable benefits across AI, automation, and cloud transformation initiatives.

I bring a rare combination of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery credibility. I can walk into a board meeting and shape a multi-year AI roadmap in the morning, and roll up my sleeves to unblock a delivery team in the afternoon. Clients trust me because I speak both languages — business and technology — and I never lose sight of the commercial outcomes that matter most.

My areas of deep expertise include:

Enterprise AI & automation strategy and operating model design

Large-scale programme leadership in regulated environments

Business case development and benefit realisation

Organisational change and digital capability building

C-suite and board-level stakeholder engagement

I work exclusively remotely and am selective about the engagements I take on, ensuring every client receives my full expertise, focus, and genuine commitment to delivering impact — not just activity.

If you're looking for a trusted senior partner to help shape or accelerate your AI and transformation agenda, I'd love to connect.
