BBC Radio Leeds: Chewing the Fat with Tony Vino
Broadcast live from the National Museum of Film & Photography in Bradford today I appeared on BBC Radio Leeds, Graham Liver Show with local comedian Tony Vino.
About Me
I'm a Chartered Director and Fellow of the Institute of Directors (IoD) with three decades bridging software engineering, entrepreneurial leadership, and enterprise transformation. As Head of Applied AI & Emerging Technology Strategy at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I lead how AWS enables its global field organisation and clients to accelerate AI adoption and navigate continuous technological disruption.
An alumnus of the London School of Economics and guest lecturer on the LSE Data Science & AI for Executives programme, I partner with Boards and executive teams to develop the strategic fluency and governance disciplines needed to scale advanced technologies responsibly.
My frameworks — the AI Stages of Adoption (AISA), Five Pillars of AI Capability, and Well-Advised — are adopted internationally in enterprise engagements and cited by professional bodies including the IoD.
This work has enabled organisations to move AI from experimentation to enterprise-scale impact, shaping responsible adoption practice across multiple sectors and geographies.
