About

As a Chartered Director and Fellow of the Institute of Directors (IoD), and an alumnus of the London School of Economics, I’ve spent nearly three decades helping organisations navigate enterprise-wide transformation. My work sits at the intersection of business strategy and emerging technology — guiding Boards and executive teams as they adopt AI, data, and cloud responsibly to deliver measurable business value.

Today, as Head of Applied AI & Emerging Technology Strategy at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I focus on helping organisations move from experimentation to enterprise impact. I lead global initiatives that enable leadership teams to accelerate adoption, strengthen governance, and realise the full potential of applied AI and next-generation technologies.

My career journey — from software engineer to SaaS founder to senior leadership at AWS — has given me a deep appreciation for both the technical and human dimensions of change. I’m passionate about bridging that divide: building frameworks, cultures, and capabilities that turn innovation into sustainable transformation.

Through my writing and speaking, I share practical insights for Boards and leaders navigating digital, organisational, and cultural change. Whether you’re defining your AI strategy, developing leadership capability, or seeking to understand emerging technologies, my goal is to offer clear, pragmatic, actionable guidance grounded in real-world experience.

We’re living in a period of profound disruption — but also of extraordinary opportunity. Successful transformation isn’t about technology alone; it’s about leadership, governance, and the courage to adapt. My aim is to help you lead that journey with clarity and confidence.
