I deliver AI-powered business transformation programmes, and train the people who have to run them.
In artificial intelligence since 1999, when I began research in AI and computational linguistics at LMU Munich, and twenty-three years leading large-scale change in complex organisations since. Author of AI & I, lecturer at Pratt Institute, MSc from Trinity College Dublin.
AI programmes fail because organisations cannot absorb them, not because the technology is weak.
Governance, trust, incentives and workflow fit are the real barriers. That is the problem I am hired to solve, and it is why my work starts with how the organisation actually operates rather than with which model it licences.
The material is the same in each: what changes in delivery practice when AI arrives, what has to be rebuilt underneath it, and where the effort savings are real rather than projected.
Partner and instructor at Creative AI, the New York academy where practitioners train enterprise teams in AI. My courses cover strategic AI transformation: how organisations adopt AI in practice, from workflow fit to governance and change.
Panel with Michelle Matysek, researcher at TUM, on where AI adoption in supply chain actually stalls and what changes it.
Speaker session for the Women@Now community, moderated by Betuel Kaan Kuyumcu, on what the book argues and what it means for people working inside large technology organisations.
Real AI stories, honestly told. Short episodes on what AI changes inside real work, starting with the difference between AI that answers and AI that acts.
Lecturer on the AI Design Certificate since October 2025. The session moves creative professionals from makers to transformation partners, using the Adoption by Design framework to turn creative output into business outcomes the C-suite can measure.
Keynotes and panels on what AI changes in large organisations: which workflows move first, what has to be rebuilt underneath them, and where the savings hold up.
For most people AI still behaves like a black box: confusing, intimidating, occasionally threatening. I wrote AI & I to turn that into understanding. It is not a technical manual. It meets the reader where they are and helps them make sense of a fast-moving field.
The book covers how AI works, its history, its application across medicine, finance, law and education, the future of work, and the question of human meaning in an AI world. Readers already working in technology tend to find the value on the human side: trust, incentives, and what changes about the job once the tools arrive.
Interviews and coverage on AI & I and on what AI is actually doing inside organisations.

Contact for pressA pilot is run as a technology trial, sponsored by a function and measured on enthusiasm. It proves the tool works, but it does not change the process the tool sits inside, so the original effort stays in place alongside a new licence cost. Four stages take it further than that.
A structured read of how the work actually happens, where the effort sits, and which processes repay automation first. Delivered as a prioritised case for change, not a shortlist of products.
Processes redesigned around AI-assisted delivery, with the automations, integrations, templates and reporting built, tested and handed over in working order.
Tooling and platform decisions taken against the redesigned process, with the access, data and audit controls an enterprise technology function will sign off.
Training and embedded coaching so the client's own people run the method afterwards. Adoption sustained past ninety days is the test I hold the work to.
I deliver the transformation.
I run your AI business transformation end to end as delivery lead, with AI carrying the reporting, coordination and document work that normally needs a PMO team around it.
Reporting cycles fall from days to hours, senior time goes to decisions, and the coordination headcount a programme this size usually absorbs is not required.
I train your people to work AI-native.
Curriculum built on your own processes and tool stack, taught live, from small teams to cohorts of 250 and up. People rebuild their real tasks with AI and leave with them working.
Capability stays in the business rather than on a consultant's invoice, and teams apply it to live work within days.
Magister in Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics, and the start of more than twenty-five years of AI research and applied practice.

Whether you are starting out, stuck after the pilot, or already running AI at scale and want it to deliver more, I am happy to have the conversation.
