View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
I am a passionate C-suite executive focused on driving growth through the use of technology & AI. Over the past 20+ years, I have worked with organisations to transform and optimize business potential through differentiated use of technology. I have worked in consulting (Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Company, Accenture), in operational roles (Standard Chartered Bank) and spent time building my own businesses. I am a strong believer that technology (and AI) can only get you half the way - what truly matters is leadership and people. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, cycling and connecting with friends around the world.
