Turning data and AI into tools organisations actually use.

I build and implement analytics and AI systems, and I manage the projects that get them adopted. That means starting from the question an organisation needs answered, working through the data and the model, and finishing with something people rely on day to day.

About

I work where data, AI and delivery meet. I take a problem from the first conversation to a working tool: shaping the question, building the analysis or model, and managing the rollout so the people who need it actually use it.

I explain things in plain English, keep stakeholders close throughout, and care more about what gets adopted than what looks impressive. I most enjoy working with [[charities, policy bodies, corporates and SMEs: confirm]] that want their data to change how they make decisions.
