What I'm looking for

I seek a senior leadership role driving enterprise AI transformation in regulated industries, owning strategy, governance, vendor partnerships and measurable ROI while ensuring ethical, compliant AI at scale.

I am a Technology Strategy Executive with over 15 years leading AI transformation and digital innovation across complex, regulated global organizations. I have architected enterprise AI initiatives that delivered £5M+ in revenue uplift and £3.5M+ in annual cost savings, and I led the first enterprise-wide Microsoft Copilot deployment for a major asset manager.

My work spans Generative AI, LLMs, Copilot ecosystems, AI governance and RegTech, ensuring 100% regulatory compliance across US, UK and EU jurisdictions while integrating cloud platforms and advanced analytics. I build cross-functional teams, strategic partnerships with Microsoft and Nvidia, and future-proof roadmaps that convert emerging technology into measurable business value.
