From scaling EdTech platforms that support institutions to leading multi-million-pound AI and data initiatives in health and social care, I’ve built a career around translating complexity into meaningful, measurable impact. Working with C-suite leaders, public sector partners, large commercial organisations, e.g PwC, Cognizant, RM Plc, or startups, I bring clarity, momentum, and a deep understanding of how technology can empower people.My strength lies in connecting strategic vision with delivery. As a Chief Digital & Information Officer (CDIO) and Board Advisor, I’ve led organisational change, implemented robust data governance frameworks, and embedded responsible AI solutions—all while keeping inclusion, trust, and user experience at the core. I’ve helped organisations reduce operational costs by up to 30%, improve decision-making through real-time data insights, and future-proof services for the communities they serve.Curious by nature and values-driven by design, I thrive where transformation meets purpose. I care deeply about building digital systems that are ethical, human-centred, and equitable. Whether mentoring founders, advising boards, or launching digital products, I bring energy, empathy, and a systems-thinking mindset to every challenge. I’m always open to conversations that spark ideas and create meaningful change.
