Most initiatives fail before delivery begins — when the wrong problem gets funded, stakeholders aren't aligned, and success was never clearly defined. In an environment where AI is raising the stakes on every technology investment, the cost of backing the wrong thing has never been higher.
Enterprise portfolio management, independent consulting, and deep hands-on experience applying AI in complex organisations.
Established and led portfolio management functions, managing multidisciplinary teams and overseeing complex technology portfolios from strategy through delivery.
Designed and built custom AI solutions that materially changed how organisations deliver services — real quality and efficiency outcomes, not just proof-of-concepts.
Strategic advisory across energy, utilities, IT, education, and government — helping organisations strengthen investment decisions, portfolio practices, and delivery confidence.
I establish credibility across diverse stakeholders through careful listening, transparency about trade-offs, and consistent follow-through.
My collaborative approach helps competing interests find common ground without forcing artificial compromise — which means decisions stick.
I balance technical rigour with change management awareness, ensuring solutions work for the humans who'll use them.
Tightly structured workshops that value participants' time and deliver concrete results. Everything is concise, readable, and told as a clear story.
Practical, people-focused support to align stakeholders, shape stronger investments, and set delivery up for real outcomes.
Cut through the hype and make informed decisions about where AI can genuinely create value in your organisation.
Create clarity early by aligning stakeholders on what to build and why.
Turn ideas into clear, evidence-based decisions.
Turn promising ideas into credible, evidence-backed initiatives your organisation can actually fund and deliver.
Establish or improve PMOs and portfolio practices that support delivery instead of slowing it down.
Ensure benefits are defined, owned, and realised — not assumed.
Discuss your objectives and how I can help. Engagements are outcome-focused and scoped to what's genuinely needed — from short advisory sessions to deeper delivery support.
I sit between strategy and delivery. Strategy consultants focus on what should be done, project managers on how to deliver it. I focus on making sure the right thing is being delivered in the first place — and that it creates real value.
My work connects strategic intent to practical decisions: shaping investments, clarifying requirements, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring delivery efforts are worth the investment. Increasingly, that means helping organisations make sense of AI opportunities within that same framework.
I'm most effective with complexity, competing priorities, or important decisions with real consequences:
If it involves uncertainty, stakeholder alignment challenges, or decision fatigue — that's my sweet spot.
Engagements are project-based and outcome-focused, not open-ended:
I scale involvement to what's genuinely needed — from short advisory engagements to deeper delivery or portfolio support.
Yes, and most of them are working from theory. My AI experience is practical and delivery-focused: I've designed and built custom AI solutions inside complex organisations, seen what separates successful implementations from expensive disappointments, and developed the judgment to assess AI opportunities honestly rather than optimistically.
I don't sell AI. I help you decide whether a specific AI investment makes sense, what it would realistically take to deliver, and how to build a business case that holds up to scrutiny. That's a different kind of engagement — and one that's genuinely useful regardless of which direction the assessment points.
Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and involvement level, and is agreed upfront. Think about value in terms of:
In most cases, the value of better decisions far outweighs the cost of the engagement.
Tangible, decision-ready outputs:
Everything supports real decisions and delivery, not documentation for its own sake.
