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 to ensure strategy is governed, rather than executed, supporting boards to
govern technology responsibly with explicit ownership of outcomes.
Meet Nneka
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.
Three interconnected pillars shape how I work
Technology is the enabler. Governance is the compass. People are the heart.™
This philosophy underpins my work in boardrooms operating across jurisdictions and sectors where pace accelerates, exposure rises and oversight must remain proportionate and defensible.
- Technology should amplify value — never obscure accountability.
- Governance should clarify ownership not add friction or diffuse responsibility.
- People determine whether strategy holds or quietly unravels under pressure.
Boards do not need to become technical experts. They need the judgement, language and authority to ask the right questions, at the right time, of the right people — when accountability and trust are most exposed.

Alongside my board and advisory work, I speak internationally and contribute to global media on the human consequences of technology-led change.
My work strengthens judgement where technology, power and accountability meet.
