I'm a Chartered Director and Fellow of the Institute of Directors (IoD) with nearly three decades bridging software engineering, entrepreneurial leadership, and enterprise transformation. As Head of Applied AI & Emerging Technology Strategy at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I define how AWS equips its global field organisation and clients to accelerate AI adoption and prepare for 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 build the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to scale advanced technologies responsibly. My independently authored frameworks — including 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 advancing responsible AI adoption, including the IoD.
My work has enabled organisations to move AI from experimentation to enterprise-scale impact, generating measurable business value through systematic governance and strategic adoption of AI, cloud, data, and emerging technologies.
"Antifragile" reveals how uncertainty and disorder can strengthen rather than weaken systems, offering leaders a revolutionary framework for building organisations that thrive on volatility and change. See what else I've been reading.
