Global AI Engagement Lead · Brisbane, AU
Most organisations know AI matters. Few know where to start.
I help SMB leaders get clear on where to start and how to move fast — without making expensive mistakes along the way. 30 years of software, UX, and AI strategy. I've built real products with AI. I understand the deployment level, not just the pitch deck.

The real challenge
The problem isn't AI. It's readiness.
Most AI initiatives stall before delivering value. The root cause is rarely the technology — it's almost always the foundation that should have been built first.
Fragmented data
Siloed systems prevent unified AI deployment. AI can't run on data it can't reach.
No governance
Absent compliance frameworks create risk exposure that stops projects dead at sign-off.
Shadow AI
Unstructured GenAI tool adoption without oversight creates liability before value.
Unclear ROI
No measurable linkage between AI and business KPIs means no funding approval.
Premature execution
Moving to build before establishing readiness is the most expensive mistake in AI.
Knowing where you stand before you invest is the move that saves 6–12 months and prevents the most expensive mistakes.

Why me
I've been on both sides of the table.
I'm not just an AI engagement lead. I spend part of every week building real commercial products using AI tools — so I understand what AI can actually deliver at a deployment level, not just from a sales deck. If you're trying to figure out where AI fits in your business and what a realistic first move looks like, that's exactly what I do.
