As CEO, I’m building an AI platform that rethinks how organisations handle compliance. Instead of drowning in frameworks or burning cash on consultants, teams use pAIperTrail to:

• Build a live compliance profile in minutes
• Map controls across key frameworks automatically
• Capture evidence once and reuse it everywhere
• Run continuous gap analysis to show what’s done, what’s missing, and who owns the fix

Results speak for themselves. Teams cut compliance costs by up to 80%. Risk drops by 60%. Ownership spreads across finance, operations, and tech. No consultants. No retests. No overlap.

My focus is simple. Make compliance practical and affordable for SMEs and the mid-market. Turn deep expertise into accessible technology. Give business communities control over their governance, instead of dependence on outside advisors.

My aim is clear. pAIperTrail becomes the industry standard for consulting without the consultant. Decades of experience distilled into an intelligent, self-updating platform that keeps firms audit-ready at all times.

We help small and medium businesses reclaim time, money, and peace of mind, so they can focus on growth, not paperwork.

Allow me to introduce Trinity, an all-in-one solution that combines Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) — explicitly engineered to help mid-sized companies thrive under growing ESG pressures.

Partner - NED - M&A

As business angel, I love providing expert advice and guidance in specific fields and industries. My main goal is to help organizations improve their performance, solve problems, or implement new strategies. It's such an exciting profession that requires strong analytical and communication skills, as well as a deep understanding of the subject matter. 

On the other hand, as a friendly investor, my primary focus is to allocate capital in order to generate returns and maximize wealth. I thoroughly analyze financial markets, evaluate investment opportunities, and make informed decisions based on research and analysis. I always keep an eye on risks and rewards, diversify portfolios, and monitor market trends to optimize investment strategies. Additionally, I stay constantly updated on economic and industry developments to identify potential opportunities and mitigate risks.
