Welcome, and why this website exists
I built this website for a simple reason: a CV has never been the whole story.
The work comes first. For thirty years I have worked in UK financial services, and today I help boards and senior leaders adopt AI safely and with confidence.
But I have never believed that a serious career and a full life belong in separate boxes. I have hosted events for 17 years, I love bringing interesting people together, and I give a board paper and a party the same energy. The curiosity about people that drives one is exactly what drives the other.
Hiring, meanwhile, has changed. Automated screening now reads a CV before any person does, and a whole career can be reduced to a handful of keywords. As someone who works in AI, I find that both fascinating and a little ironic.
So here is the whole picture in one place: my career and skills, my books, white papers and videos, and my life outside work. It is also where friends and colleagues, near and far, can keep up with what I am doing.
Have a look around and make up your own mind. If something here interests you, I would be glad to hear from you.
