AI Strategy & Digital Transformation

Turn AI ambition into systems that ship.

I help organizations define, build, and govern AI systems that hold up in production.

20+ years at the intersection of data, cloud, and AI — working with organizations that carry real data estates and a compliance obligation.

Four engagement shapes in total, including fractional leadership and fixed-scope projects — see all of them.

Where I work

Strategy through to the data underneath it — and the engineering practices that keep both honest.

01

AI Strategy & Roadmapping

A sequenced roadmap with named owners and honest estimates — not a slide deck that sits in a drawer.

View approach
02

Data Foundations & Governance

Lineage, quality, and governance built to carry AI workloads — the layer most AI programs discover too late.

View approach
03

AI Governance & Compliance

Governance mapped to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act — written by someone who has built the systems being governed.

04

AI Platform & Application Development

Production-ready AI systems that integrate with your existing infrastructure — evaluated before launch, observable after it.

05

AI-Augmented Engineering

AI pointed at your delivery process — feature decomposition, commit-level quality gates, and documentation that stays current.

06

Course & Curriculum Development

Technical curricula built as engineering systems, so a course can be corrected in an afternoon instead of rebuilt every few semesters.

Why this practice exists

Most AI initiatives fail on the data, not the model

An organization runs a promising pilot, gets a good result, then stalls for eighteen months. The post-mortem blames the model, the vendor, or the pace of the technology.

It is almost never any of those. It is that nobody could trace where the data came from, nobody measured its quality, and nobody decided who was accountable when the system was wrong. The pilot worked because someone hand-picked the inputs — which is exactly what production will not do for you.

More about how I work

Who I work with

Organizations with real data estates and a compliance obligation — where governance, data quality, and engineering discipline all matter at the same time.

  • Insurance
  • Healthcare
  • Financial services
  • Education
  • Regulated manufacturing

Twenty years at the intersection of data, cloud, and AI, working with organizations from first use case through to enterprise-wide programs.

Not sure where your AI program should start?

That is usually the right first conversation. Tell me what you are weighing and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.
