Consulting Services
I've been a Management Consultant for most of my career, working all over the world advising on change management, transformation, outsourcing and technology.
I now focus on a few specific areas, including robotic process automation, AI, legal services and disruptive sourcing.
Strategic Advice
I'm working with a number of firms as a strategic advisor. Some are focused around new technologies such as Robotics and AI (two of which have been named as Gartner Cool Vendors).
Others are in established sectors, such as legal, that are facing huge disruption to their business models.
All are young, ambitious firms trying to do things differently.
If that sounds like you, then perhaps we should talk?
Conference and event speaking
I am a regular speaker at conferences and company events, covering disruptive technologies including AI and RPA.
You can see some videos of me speaking on the Videos page, and see which public events I will be at on the Events page.

The Sheen Resistance
I let my creative juices flow at the weekend when I can be found DJing as one half of the Sheen Resistance, fighting the world of mediocrity in South West London using the power of disco.
We organise and run our own gigs across London and do occasional private parties. If you want to strut that funky stuff, then do come along to our next gig.
