Imagine walking into a room of world-class musicians, each holding their instruments before their first performance of the season. 

The talent is obvious, and the instruments are premium...

...but without a conductor, even these experts would create chaos rather than harmony.

Between first rehearsal and flawless performance lies an essential path of expertise, understanding, and clear guidance. 

This is where many businesses find themselves with AI today:
𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀, 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀, 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸
Your teams are skilled, motivated, and ready for AI transformation.

Moving from 'here's an AI tool' to 'we're confidently using AI' requires a path that's often less travelled or, devastatingly, abandoned.

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗽
It’s about creating practical, engaging learning experiences that connect directly to your business goals.

When every minute counts, you need AI solutions that deliver real results. No complexities, just straightforward, actionable guidance.

𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀
Learning AI shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Here's how I help teams succeed:

🪗 Interactive workshops that bring AI and digital transformation to life through hands-on practice.

🪗 Learning experiences designed for real-world impact, where teams leave ready to apply their new skills.

🪗 Creative teaching approaches that use storytelling and relatable examples to simplify complex concepts.

🪗 Co-created learning programmes that align perfectly with your organisation's unique needs.

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
From enterprise teams to solo ventures, I'm here to make AI learning as energising as a full brass section in full swing.

Let's have a conversation about your goals.

Operations | Project and Delivery Consultant | Founder | WACL member

I am a seasoned professional with over two decades of hands-on and operational project delivery experience, both delivering large programmes of work as well as managing departments. My clients include top companies such as Jaguar Land Rover, Microsoft, and Samsung, and I have worked at leading agencies such as Imagination and JWT. I am skilled in balancing commercial demands (being the ultimate client delivery escalation point) whilst managing multiple steams of work or managing my team’s career journeys.

Overall, I am committed to building strong teams, mentorship, and making a positive impact wherever and however I can.
