Data & AI Strategy
Current-state diagnostic to target-state design. Operating model across utility, data product and data mesh planes. AI-ready foundation roadmap. Plus one-off confidential advisory for execs and boards.
00Strategic Data & AI Leadership
Strategy today. Intelligence tomorrow.
Independent advisory for data strategy, data products, and the operating model that turns AI ambition into AI advantage.
01What I do
Three pillars across the data and AI lifecycle. From strategy through to hands-on build.
Data & AI Discovery
Surface and prioritise the use cases that move the business. Independent vendor assessment built on active market connections. Toolkit included so your team can keep running it.
Data & AI Delivery
Hands-on implementation for data governance, policies-as-code, marketplace design, and agentic AI augmentation across the data product lifecycle. Embedded counsel until the capability is yours.
02Who I am
An independent advisor for the moments where data strategy meets execution.
I help organisations build the data foundation that makes AI advantage real. Data product strategy, operating model design, governance, and the implementation work everyone else skips.
Most strategies don't fail in design. They fail in the handover. I work in deep, time-boxed engagements. Direct counsel, no template decks, and the framework underneath to keep going after I'm gone.
