Interim IT Director, Fractional CIO & AI Consultant, working with businesses looking to scale, on either retainer or assignment based basis.
Have delivered over 150 such projects, with a 95% on-time, on-budget record. I specialise in compex, federated, and regulated businesses; especially in professional services.
I advise Founders, CEOs, and their leadership teams on business growth through technology and innovation; specialising in the responsible adoption of AI.
I built the AI platform at WPP that reached 70,000 people across 110 countries and generated $40m of documented value in its first year. That experience taught me what governance has to do in practice: keep the work moving while making it safe, auditable and defensible.
I'm a Chartered Accountant (ACA) and Chartered IT Professional (CITP), with 30+ years leading technology at WPP, Heathrow, BSI, Arup and the BBC. I created MASTER-AI, a practical governance framework across six domains, grounded in ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act. I also sit on the AIGAS board.
What you get: an honest view of where you stand (starting with a free 10-question AI Readiness Scorecard), a governance model your team will use rather than shelve, and clear answers for your board, funders and regulators. The aim is to get to AI value faster, with the risk under control.
