What I do

I work with owners, directors and leadership teams who want AI to do something genuinely useful, whether that's cutting cost, saving time or removing risk, and who want a straight answer about how. That work takes four forms: strategy sessions that set direction, hands-on implementation that ships working systems, training that upskills teams, and a fractional AI officer retainer for organisations that want senior AI leadership on tap.

How I work

Business first, technology second. Every engagement starts with your operation. Where the hours go, where the errors happen, where the margin leaks. Only then do we ask what AI can actually do about it. If the honest answer is "nothing worth paying for", that's the answer you'll get.

Fixed scope, no surprises. Proposals are fixed-price and fixed-scope, so you know exactly what you're buying before you buy it.

Built to be owned. Whatever I build or teach is handed over fully documented, on mainstream platforms, so the capability stays with you rather than with me.

No reseller incentives. I don't take commission from any vendor. When I recommend a tool, it's because it's the right one for the job.

Credentials

• Google: certified in AI & machine learning.
• Oxford University: executive education in artificial intelligence.
• MIT: professional education in AI and its business application.

Certificates are the floor, not the ceiling. The practical experience comes from building and running AI systems inside real businesses: reporting pipelines, document processing, AI assistants and automated workflows that run every day in production.

Based in the UK, working worldwide

I work with clients across time zones, on video or on site by arrangement. Advice is grounded in strong data-protection practice (UK GDPR and equivalent frameworks), and pricing is straightforward and in pounds. Wherever you are, sessions are scheduled to suit you.
