What I'm looking for

I'm looking to help organisations navigate growth, transformation, operational improvement, AI governance, and information security through fractional advisory, board-level consulting, and technology-enabled operating models.

I help organisations turn strategy into results through operational transformation, AI governance, and technology-led growth. At Arcvantis Consulting, I lead ISO 27001 and AI governance engagements, develop audit-ready security frameworks, and implement HubSpot and Zoho One CRM and RevOps solutions.

I've led operations across CloudFactory, Coresys Solutions, Digital Divide Data, Scale AI, Sama, and StepWise, including COO, VP Operations, Country Manager, and Country Director roles. I bring P&L ownership, digital transformation, risk management, client delivery, and cross-functional leadership to growth-stage and regulated organisations.
