You have the AI tools. Usage is flat and nobody will admit they are unsure what to use them for. I help founders and leadership teams make AI a daily habit: clear choices, less hesitation, better outputs. I am a Behavioural scientist. Ex Bank of England. Most AI adoption stalls for human reasons, not technical ones. People are unsure what is allowed, worried about looking slow, or getting mediocre results and quietly giving up. Tool training does not fix that. Behaviour change does. WHAT I HELP WITH Getting your team actually using AI ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot. Which to use, for what, and how to move from occasional experiments to everyday habit. We deal with hesitation and resistance directly, because that is where adoption usually dies. Better outputs from the AI you already have AI answers the question you asked, not the one you meant. Most weak outputs start with weak framing, hidden assumptions, or reading the answer through your own bias. I work with leaders and teams on asking sharper questions and reading answers more critically. One to one for founders and executives A rigorous thinking partner for the decision you are stuck on: which AI to commit to, how to lead a team through it, or a strategy problem where clear thinking matters more than more information. HOW IT WORKS Diagnose: a short survey and a handful of interviews to find where adoption is actually stalling (tools, permission, confidence, habit or workflow). Design: a small number of high-value uses, agreed with the people who will do the work. Embed: working sessions, follow-up and measurement so the change sticks. Formats: half-day leadership sessions, four to twelve week team programmes, and 1:1 coaching. Remote, UK based, comfortable with US and EU hours. PROOF I measure confidence and skills before and after. Across recent AI and digital security programmes for UK Government, LSE, UCL and others: • 94% of participants met or exceeded the goals they set at the start • Confidence and learning scores rose by 85 to 100% • Complex-skills scores rose by 100% • 95% scored the programme as psychologically safe (people felt able to ask questions and get things wrong) WHO I AM Economist and behavioural scientist. Former regulator at the FCA and Bank of England, so I am used to evidence, risk and things that have to be got right. Founder of MindHug, a behaviour change company. Entrepreneur Resilience Consultant at LSE and Advisory Board member at UCL School of Management. Actuarial and data background. GOOD FIT IF • You have bought, or are choosing, AI tools and want people using them well within weeks • You want measured change, not a slide deck or a generic AI course • You are a founder or executive who wants a rigorous sounding board, not a cheerleader NOT A FIT IF • You need automations, agents or integrations built (I can help you, but will need deeper scoping or getting people within my network) • You want a one-off tool demo NEXT STEP Send me two lines: what you want AI to do for your business, and what is getting in the way.

I've spent 20 years helping grow businesses through growth strategies, business improvement and governance. Throughout this career, I've helped innovate and introduce new products to market, including completely disrupting the email marketing industry, leading the evolution towards marketing automation. I developed the first-ever marketing automation business model and innovated in the areas of media attribution and databases, creating the UK first Customer Data Platform (CDP). All my businesses have shown significant growth and part of that comes from my skills in sales & marketing. I have a strong passion for these areas, I believe they should be the centre of any business and everything works around them, as this is the thing that drives company growth. I think string, thought leadership is key, through both written evidence and strong presenting, where you understand the client need and articulate how you can solve it. As an executive & non-executive director, as well as a founder & entrepreneur, I've always put a strong emphasis on building the company culture of my businesses and working hard with teams to build inclusive working environments where I believe people work best when they feel appreciated. I've been a mentoring for people within my businesses, but also for business owners in other companies, who I have helped in their personal development, as well as the business they work for. I've written the go-to-market and business strategies for multiple businesses, taking ownership of their delivery and ensuring that the whole business is bought into the strategy. I have done extensive market research to ensure propositions are aligned to not just the business but the industry as a whole. My current business is all about helping startups and small businesses to grow and take control of marketing. I coach and train people so that they can do the work themselves, avoiding large agency fees and expensive marketing budgets. I firmly believe people can do more if they understand a subject and are encouraged to take control of it. Working efficiently is a big part of what I teach and a lot of this is about knowing what not to work on because the choices and options are so vast they often make people and businesses feel overwhelmed. As part of this, I've developed a unique set of tools for small businesses, allowing them to work like big brands but with less effort or budgets. These include a marketing plan for small business, audience avatars, social media conversation starters and a channel mapping tool. Throughout my career, I have written extensively about these subjects, in industry journals & magazines, for company blogs, in white papers, on publications like Medium.com, as well as presenting on the subjects at key industry events. I left my role as CEO at RedEye to focus on setting up a new business dedicated to helping business owners take control of their working lives but also to dedicate more time to my passion for writing, in whatever format. I intentionally took the decision to offer my writing skills below what I am told they are worth because my goal in leaving my executive role was to help more people and businesses at all levels. Previously I'd helped massive global brands make millions more, but in reality, billion-dollar companies don't appreciate that as much, so I wanted to work with businesses that I can have more of an impact on. I put this into my writing and hourly rate, but only working with businesses where I think I will help them and add value. Finally, my non-work passion is sport. Basketball, football, soccer, athletics, martial arts and trail running are some of the things that I love to participate in, watch and write about.

I support founders, coaches, consultants, executives, and growing business owners stay organised, focused, and supported by bringing structure to their operations, projects, communication, and day-to-day responsibilities. Many leaders are carrying too much alone: too many moving parts, too many unfinished tasks, unclear follow-up, scattered systems, and not enough time to focus on growth. My role is to help create calm, clarity, and accountability so the right work keeps moving forward. I support clients across executive operations, founder support, project coordination, team communication, CRM management, process improvement, and business administration. I am often the person clients rely on to organise the details, track priorities, follow up with people, improve workflows, and turn ideas into clear action steps. I am highly tech-savvy and confident working across digital tools, CRM systems, project management platforms, AI tools, automations, and collaboration software. I learn systems quickly and enjoy helping businesses reduce manual work, improve visibility, and create smoother ways of working. My background also includes coaching, client services, holistic health, EFT, marketing support, and business administration. This gives me a strong people-first approach. I understand that good operations are not only about tasks and systems; they are also about communication, trust, consistency, and helping people work better together. Core Areas of Support Executive & Founder Support Calendar and schedule management Inbox and communication management Meeting preparation and follow-up Travel planning and logistics Personal administration and life organisation Research and information gathering Confidential executive support Operations & Project Support Business operations management Workflow and process improvement SOP creation and documentation Project and task management Team coordination and accountability Reporting and operational tracking Documentation and follow-through CRM, Marketing & Business Development Support CRM management and maintenance Lead tracking and pipeline follow-up LinkedIn relationship management Prospect research and lead generation Content coordination and scheduling Speaker, podcast, and partnership outreach Stakeholder communication Technology, AI & Systems Support AI-assisted workflows CRM setup and optimisation Process automation support Digital business systems Data tracking and reporting Technology adoption and documentation Workflow streamlining Clients work with me because I am organised, proactive, calm under pressure, reliable, and genuinely invested in helping the business succeed. I do not just complete tasks. I help create the structure, communication, and accountability that allows leaders and teams to move forward with more confidence. If you are looking for a trusted operational partner who can combine executive support, business operations, technology confidence, strong communication skills, and a people-first approach, I would be happy to hear more about your business and how I can help.
