I specialise in making change happen in organisations. With over twenty years in project and programme management, I deliver challenging transformation by taking a pragmatic, user-centric approach. Most transformations don't fail on the technology, they fail because people don't adopt them, so that is where I put my attention.
That is also why I now spend a lot of my time on AI. Most organisations know they need to move on it, but far fewer know how to go about it so it actually lands rather than stalls. I help with that part, the approach, the structure, and the adoption. I don't build the models, I make sure the initiative delivers.
I started as an IT professional at IBM, then moved into the Finance Industry, became a Project Manager, then a Programme Manager, then a Director. I've always been given more responsibility (read, inheriting more problems) on the back of previous success.
Throughout my career, what has given me my reputation as the one to call for challenging projects is my ability to build strong teams, look at things from a different perspective, find a solution, and keep calm and civilised under pressure.
I've worked with everything from FTSE 100 companies to small start-ups, in industries as diverse as global telecom manufacturers, global banks, music streaming, truck manufacturing, maritime, and a training company for children who left school early, to name a few. Right now I'm steering a fleet-wide transformation across more than 150 vessels.
I've also enjoyed an international career, with experience and a network crossing most of the western world, and the occasional inroad into Africa, South America and the east.
What interests me the most is change itself, and how we achieve long-lasting transformation. These days, more and more, that means helping organisations get AI right.
