Over 85% of AI projects fail to deliver a return on investment because they start with technology, not a business problem. I’m fixing that by empowering companies and training people to stop experimenting with AI and start monetizing it.

Define, align, and manage the business and technical transformations that turn C-level AI visions into products, productivity, and revenue. Since 2012, V Squared AI has worked with large enterprises to deliver over $3.7 billion in value.

My frameworks are built from working in the trenches. My practitioner-to-strategist journey allows me to bridge the critical gap between technical teams and the boardroom, ensuring that AI initiatives are not only technically sound but commercially viable.

Bridging the gap between data and strategy ✦ Lead Data Strategy Consultant @ Redkite ✦ R Programmer ✦ Policy Nerd

Okay I probably have your attention here for about 10 seconds, so I’m going to be quick:

My niche is navigating the complex data world for organisations to help them deliver on their strategy

Basically, I bridge the gap between data and strategy

Want to know more? Here is how I do it:

💡 Learned as a strategy consultant what matters and what doesn’t
🎤 Storytell to help clients implement effectively (how do you properly engage the audience and infuse that story with the key takeaways/ implications)
💻 Use my R coding and strategy consulting experience to bridge the data scientist's "get lost in the data" approach with the "tell me what I need to know on one page" approach of the business executive
★ Live off my passion to see through positive outcomes, be that at work, on my blog or even when helping a friend

So why should you care?

1) I post my best tips 3-5x per week on LinkedIn
2) I make it relevant to you, as a student, business professional, executive, or whomever. My goal is to share relevant stuff with my audience
3) I try to be unique in what I share and deliver, as few people have the combination of experience I boast
4) I value feedback and input from all others out there. I pride myself on learning from others' perspectives so please add it to my content!
