Personal Bio

With 29 years of experience in the IT industry, my journey began with a Computer Science degree that sparked a lasting passion for data and its potential to drive meaningful business outcomes.

Over the past decade, I’ve specialised in delivering transformative data and insight solutions—developing enterprise data strategies, modernising data platforms, and leading the creation of data products that unlock real value for organisations and their customers.

I focus on turning data into actionable insights that fuel smarter decision-making and continuous improvement. As I expand into the AI space, I’m particularly interested in how high-quality, well-structured data forms the foundation for successful AI initiatives—ensuring models are not only accurate but also aligned with business goals.
