Omschrijving

If you are exploring AI but need clarity on where it drives real business value, I can help.

I support leadership teams, product organisations and innovation leads in moving from AI experimentation to structured, scalable implementation. My work focuses on enterprise AI adoption, product strategy, LLM workflow integration, and operating model redesign, ensuring AI improves margin, speed, quality and decision-making rather than creating isolated pilots.

With 10+ years leading AI and data initiatives across aviation, banking and global agency environments, I combine strategic direction with hands on execution. I have secured AI investment at Qantas, led AI enabled workflow transformation at McCann Worldgroup, and built products designed for enterprise governance and control.

What differentiates me is the ability to operate across boardroom and build layer. I translate technical complexity into executive clarity, while also designing products, governance frameworks and repeatable deployment models.

Typical projects and deliverables include:

• Product and platform strategy

• AI strategy roadmaps and executive briefings

• Opportunity assessment and use-case prioritisation

• LLM workflow design and implementation frameworks

• AI governance and operating model design

• Discovery workshops and cross-functional alignment

• Commercialisation and go-to-market planning

I work best with organisations that want practical outcomes, and a partner capable of owning discovery through to implementation.
