About

I am an AI Strategy & Transformation Expert who helps marketing, innovation, and insights leaders turn AI opportunities into measurable business impact.I work with leaders who are not looking for another AI presentation.They want to understand where AI can create meaningful value and how to turn those opportunities into something their teams can actually use.𝗠𝗬 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛I start with the business problem, not the technology.Where are teams spending too much time?Which workflows are repetitive, fragmented or dependent on a small number of people?Where is valuable information getting lost?Where could AI improve productivity, speed, decision-making, customer experience or growth?I identify the highest-value opportunities and translate them into practical solutions, from AI-assisted workflows and automation to agentic systems and transformation roadmaps.My perspective is shaped by more than two decades of experience across communications, marketing, digital transformation and global project management, including work with Citibank, BNP Paribas, ABN AMRO and RBS.I have worked across complex organizations, international teams, business and technology functions, and multiple stakeholders.
