AI strategist helping SaaS and digital enterprises turn AI experiments into measurable business value.
What I'm looking for
I am an AI strategist and founder with deep technical and business experience building AI-enabled products, platforms, and transformation roadmaps for SaaS and digital enterprises. I design and implement end-to-end solutions—from data and infrastructure to models and deployment—delivering measurable ROI and accelerated innovation.
My background spans startups and large telecoms, with hands-on engineering (Python, AI/ML, cloud, DevOps) and leadership in product, project management, and go-to-market. I have founded multiple ventures, led complex migrations and platform builds, and hold an MBA from London Business School.
