Innovative AI and Digital Transformation Leader with over 15 years’ experience delivering strategic programmes and technology-driven change across highly regulated industries — including energy, construction, defence, rail, pharmaceuticals, and government sectors in the UK, USA, Australia, and Europe.
Currently Head of Reporting and AI/Automation at Gleeds, where I lead enterprise AI strategy, define AI policy, and design secure cloud-based AI solutions using Azure AI Foundry, Power Platform, and advanced data pipelines. My work spans AI-powered document intelligence, multilingual chatbots, predictive analytics, and automated reporting systems — enabling executive leadership to make faster, data-backed decisions.
Proven at bridging strategic vision and technical delivery, I work directly with boards and senior stakeholders to shape digital roadmaps, deploy scalable AI architectures, and embed ethical governance frameworks. A certified AWS Solutions Architect and Azure Administrator, I build secure, high-performance environments including SQL cloud databases, Power BI Premium workspaces, and Power Apps ecosystems.
Recognised internationally for my expertise in Earned Value Management (EVM), I bring a rare combination of data-driven leadership, automation engineering, and multi-sector domain knowledge — helping organisations embrace AI not as a buzzword, but as a measurable driver of performance, compliance, and innovation.
