Two decades leading large, complex change across government, retail, banking and AI — anchored by legal training. I work to keep transformation commercial, well-governed and measured.
I have built and commercialised technology from the founder’s side of the table. If you are taking a product to market or to investors, I can help you prepare for market and for investors.
As Chief Product Officer of an AI startup, took a generative-AI product from concept to launch.
Pitched investors alongside the founder, secured a seed term sheet, and ran the due-diligence process.
A master’s in technology commercialisation (UT Austin IC² Institute), and a lawyer’s eye on IP, contracts and the cap table.
Governance, risk and commercial discipline, applied to large and complex change.
Governing complex change so it stays fundable, deliverable and measurable.
Overseeing AI adoption, data risk and technology investment for long-term value.
Turning technology into revenue, with the legal and IP discipline to protect it.
Reading regulatory, privacy and security exposure before it becomes a problem.
Real enterprise results across the public sector, retail and consumer markets. Each case names the client, the role and the outcome.

I bring governance instincts from legal training, two decades of operating experience, and hands-on work governing technology and AI.

Testing whether transformation plans are fundable, deliverable and measurable.
