The thesis · why now

Traditional automation trims. AI automation transforms.

Traditional automation is slow and trims around 20%. AI automation — in the right hands — takes out 50–75%. The hard part is landing it against the contracts, controls and people — that's my twenty years.

Lower run cost, reached sooner — but only in the right hands.

What we're building

Most transformation fails before it starts.

You can't change what you can't see — and no organisation has a stable, current view of how it really runs. So we build that first, with AI, then automate it. Here's the path.

The throughline is delivery. Eighteen years turning strategy into things that actually work — running major IT and transformation programmes, leading commercial partnerships, and rebuilding how organisations operate. I know where these efforts die, because I've been in the room when they have.

Advisory

Banking, consultancies & government

I advise leadership teams through the moments that decide whether a programme succeeds — the bet on a platform, the structure of a partnership, the call to build, buy or stop. Engaged by firms including Sopra Steria, and previously KPMG — delivering consulting on engagements with their own clients.

I don't just talk about agentic delivery — I ship it.

Four agentic engines I've built and run — customer intelligence, content generation, value cases and automation. Production-grade, audit-traced, and delivered in hours. (This site is one of them.)

The Sales Engine

Two unfair advantages in every outreach.

01It knows them. Every prospect researched across filings, regulators and news — the exact hook, not a guess.
02It speaks to them. A first-person AI video that names the company, on its own page — near-zero cost, at scale.
