The value of AI isn't just automation, but using it thoughtfully to improve decisions and performance without losing human oversight.

Commercially grounded

A perspective shaped by hands-on work in business development, international business, education and emerging-technology initiatives.

Partnership building

Experienced in opening strategic conversations and building the relationships that turn interest into working initiatives.
