Summary
AI Transformation Lead with 30 years in IT and 5 years driving AI adoption across industrial and enterprise environments. I have led the complete transformation journey — defining the AI roadmap, establishing governance and responsible-use frameworks, securing board alignment, and guiding organisations through the cultural and operational change that AI demands.
My edge is practical credibility: I have run live AI pilots on the plant floor (Boliden zinc flotation, IVECO edge monitoring), built 20-partner ecosystems from zero, and translated AI capabilities into board-level strategy for organisations at widely varying levels of AI maturity. I work at the intersection of business, IT and leadership — equally comfortable in the boardroom and the machine hall.
