That work focuses on connecting AI, cyber, sustainability and governance so accountability is clear and decisions endure over time, not just in the moment.
The work is undertaken as a non-executive director, chair, or in a clearly bound advisory role, supporting boards to govern technology responsibly with explicit ownership of outcomes.
AI is changing how decisions are made, not who remains accountable.
In a recent Forbes article, I explore why AI doesn’t remove the need for boards, but raises the bar on judgement, stewardship and human responsibility.
This perspective is grounded in three interconnected pillars that shape how I work with boards and organisations.
Technology is the enabler. Governance is the compass. People are the heart.™
This philosophy underpins my work in boardrooms navigating transformation, risk and scale, where pace accelerates, uncertainty rises, and judgement is most exposed.
- Technology should amplify value and insight, never obscure accountability or weaken decision-making
- Governance should clarify ownership and sharpen pace, not add friction or diffuse responsibility
- People ultimately determine whether strategy is understood, owned and delivered, or quietly unravels under pressure
Boards do not need to become technical experts. They do need the judgement, language and authority to ask the right questions, at the right time, of the right people, when accountability, trust and consequences truly matter.

Ideas, Insight and Influence
Alongside my board and advisory work, I speak internationally and contribute to global media on the human consequences of technology-led change, governance and leadership.
My contributions combine boardroom experience with intellectual rigor to strengthen judgment at critical moments.
They are designed to strengthen judgement where technology, power and accountability intersect.
