02 / Advise

Cut through the noise on technology and AI.

I work with founders, non-technical leaders and organisations to bring clarity to technology decisions: what tools to adopt, how to structure teams, and where AI can genuinely add value. Practical guidance, not jargon-heavy PowerPoint.

Who it's for

Clarity for the people making the call

Founders & startup teams

Building without a technical co-founder or CTO. Get someone to pressure-test decisions, evaluate vendors and help you build with confidence, minus a full-time hire.

Non-technical leaders

Running a team that relies on tech without a technical background. Get clarity on what's realistic, what your team is doing, and how to make informed calls on tools and timelines.

Organisations adopting AI

Past the hype, into the practical. Where can AI actually help, which tools are worth adopting, and how do you roll them out responsibly without disrupting how your team already works?
