Transformation succeeds or fails in the business architecture: the strategy, operating model, governance and adoption that connect technology to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. That is my work. I advise CEOs, boards and senior leadership on AI, digital and business transformation, and I lead it from the business side so that investment turns into measurable results.
I have spent more than a decade bridging business strategy and technology delivery: leading EY London transformation programmes across infrastructure, energy, utilities, telecommunications, healthcare and government, and most recently building an enterprise AI advisory practice in Saudi Arabia from the ground up as Head of AI Strategy, expanded to Acting COO.
How I can help:
- AI and digital strategy and roadmap: a business-led strategy and prioritised use cases that target real commercial value, with the business case as the anchor throughout
- AI readiness assessment: a structured, evidence-based diagnostic of where you stand and what to prioritise, delivered in around three weeks
- Operating model, organisation design and governance: the target operating model, governance frameworks, steering structures and performance management that let transformation scale, particularly in regulated and high-stakes environments
- Programme, portfolio and PMO delivery: integrated planning across workstreams, dependency and risk management, executive reporting and governance in complex, matrixed organisations
- Fractional AI leadership (fractional Chief AI Officer): ongoing C-suite advisory and direction at the cadence the engagement needs
- Consulting practice build: for boutique firms and startups, defining positioning, service offerings, methodologies and the commercial model
Selected background:
- Worked directly with the CIO of Europe's largest infrastructure programme on the technology strategy and target operating model, including the IT governance framework and performance-management framework
- Led PMO operations on a major technology programme for the UK's national rail infrastructure operator: programme financials, change control, risk and issues management, and governance
- Reported to the CEO of the UK's electricity balancing and settlement body, building the business case and process redesign for digitising customer-service operations and leading the transition to agile delivery
- Built an enterprise AI advisory practice in Saudi Arabia from inception: 150+ direct C-suite conversations, and live proofs of concept across analytics, document intelligence, process automation, predictive maintenance and customer-facing AI
- Designed a technology-enabled future-state operating model for one of Africa's largest food and beverage groups, spanning supply chain, manufacturing, sales, distribution and customer service
I work across the UK, Europe, MENA and Saudi Arabia, with deep Vision 2030 fluency, remote with travel as required.
