Most AI projects never make it past the pilot. I build production systems that get adopted, run every day, and drive the operational efficiency that saves time and grows revenue.
You’ve got the Microsoft licences. You’ve rolled out Copilot. Maybe run a pilot or two. But months later, the tools sit unused, the pilots never scaled, and no one can tell you what AI is actually doing for the business.
You don’t need another tool or another strategy deck. You need someone who has done this before: found where AI actually pays off, built it into the systems you already run, put it into production, and got people using it.
I have been the founding AI specialist inside multiple organisations, brought in to take AI from an idea on a slide to systems the business relies on every day. I hold a Master’s in AI and Big Data, and I have spent years turning ambiguous problems into production systems through discovery, architecture, build and adoption.
That work spans the front and back office, from recruitment into private equity, manufacturing and finance, and it has consistently reached production rather than stopping at a pilot. The systems are deployed inside the tools teams already use, adopted by the people doing the work, and built to hold up in a regulated, board-level environment.
What I bring is a track record of doing this repeatedly, in different businesses, and knowing what separates AI that delivers a return from AI that quietly stalls.
Most organisations have committed to AI without a clear view of where it applies or what return to expect, leaving tools unused, pilots stalled, and no reliable account of what AI is contributing to the business.
This four-week engagement resolves that. Working directly with your process owners, I use structured interviews and process mining to establish how work moves through the business and where time and cost are being lost. Involving the people who do the work is what makes the result adoptable rather than aspirational.
You receive a prioritised set of three to five AI opportunities, each assessed for expected return, implementation effort, and what adoption will require, sequenced so you know where to begin. Where funding needs sign off, the analysis is ready to support a request to your board or leadership.
Brought in as your senior AI specialist for a defined engagement, owning delivery from the inside.
A focused four-week engagement that pinpoints where AI will deliver real return and how to make it stick, delivered as a prioritised plan you can act on immediately.
From spotting the opportunity to a working system live in production, adopted and monitored.
I start by understanding how your teams actually work. I map the processes, find where time disappears, and trace where one process has quietly become ten different versions of itself, always with the end user and adoption in mind.
You get a clear, prioritised report you can act on immediately.
Once we’ve found the highest-value opportunities, I move fast. I build production AI into your existing Microsoft environment. No new platforms, no rip and replace, no six-month timelines.
Everything integrates with the systems your team already uses, so adoption happens naturally, not by force. Working solutions in weeks, not months.
I deploy, I test, and I build evaluation and monitoring into your Microsoft stack. Then I train your team hands-on, with full technical documentation and a full handover.
By the time I step back, your team runs everything. No dependency. No black boxes.
For contract work, consultancy, or bringing applied AI into your organisation. The best place to start is a conversation.
