Enabling CXOs, their teams, and organisations to deliver impact, value and outcomes with data and technology since 2002. I work to increase revenues, reduce costs & mitigate risks from strategy into operation.
Do you or your organisation need help with your data strategy, challenges with your operating model or delivering business value with data, analytics and AI? Do you need to mitigate risks and operational inefficiencies; reduce operational costs and increase revenues to optimise profits? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then I’m available to help you work through the challenges and opportunities you are facing into in a collaborative and supportive style. As a results-oriented data, analytics, and AI leader with 20+ years of experience, I excel at developing and executing data-driven strategies that deliver significant business value. My expertise spans the entire data lifecycle, from architecture and platform implementation to team leadership and process optimisation. Before consulting, I held client-side leadership roles where I was directly responsible for driving tens of millions in revenue growth, innovative data-enabled solutions and efficiency improvements, while also implementing effective risk mitigation strategies. This deep understanding of client-side challenges informs my consulting approach, allowing me to partner with globally recognised brands and complex international organisations to achieve their strategic objectives. I am passionate about leveraging data to transform businesses and create a competitive edge.

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's extensive experience across various large consulting firms (PwC, IBM, Accenture, GFT) and their focus on building and transforming data and AI capabilities suggest adaptability and a strong drive for innovation. Their involvement in global initiatives and diverse project portfolio indicates a collaborative mindset and ability to work within varied organizational cultures. However, the candidate's background is heavily skewed towards leadership, strategy, and consulting, rather than hands-on software engineering, which might be a mismatch for a pure 'Software Engineer' role.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership, change management, and talent management skills, evidenced by their roles in scaling teams, developing training programs, and driving operational excellence. Their experience in client-facing consulting roles also indicates strong communication and negotiation abilities. The focus on 'augmented decision-making' and 'responsible autonomy' aligns with modern operational best practices in AI.
