ABOUT STEVE BAKER
I am a results‑driven data science and AI leader with a proven track record of delivering solutions that meet real business needs. I combine technical expertise with strong interpersonal and leadership skills to build strategic relationships, form high‑performing multidisciplinary teams, and deliver impactful, scalable solutions.I focus on the value From 17 years in technical consultancy I learned to see beyond what was asked for, to what is really needed leading to extended contracts for every client engaged with over latest 15 years. I develop and communicate effective strategies, compelling business cases, and prioritised roadmaps to provide clarity, build stakeholder support and understand the value to be delivered. I build the team I build exceptional teams attracting and hiring the very best talent, setting the environment for them to thrive and coaching them to fulfil their potential. I tackle all challenges with a positive attitude bringing out the best in the team and partners to collectively solve problems using the full breadth of skills and experience. I deliver the impact As an engineer by training I am motivated by practical solutions that will be used to deliver business value. Outcome targets are set up front to focus the team on what is important. My significant project management and leadership experience means I manage risk and control initiatives to deliver the measurable benefit as quickly as possible with repeatable success.I am excited by the possibilities AI’s rapid advances can feel overwhelming with unprecedented uncertainty, but equally so is the potential opportunity for making real transformations. From my PhD onward, I’ve successfully navigated unknowns so I am not phased by the situation. While real risks must be managed, I’m optimistic and back myself and my colleagues to seize the right opportunities and make a meaningful difference.
