Healthcare & MedTech
Clinical AI, remote monitoring, computer vision, wearable and IoT solutions, and regulated deployment.
— AI Strategy & Delivery Leadership
Most AI initiatives die between the demo and the deployment. I work the space in between — choosing the few use cases worth doing, standing up the Centre of Excellence to govern them, and staying until they run in production: measured, secured, adopted.
Technology leadership across AI strategy, CoE design and leadership, product innovation, and delivery. The work spans enterprise operating models, use-case portfolios, and AI systems in production.
01 AI Strategy
Find the areas where AI or automation may add the most value.
Match each opportunity with the approach that serves it best — AI, process design, or standard software.
Weigh value, feasibility, data readiness, risk, complexity, and cost.
Include integration, infrastructure, people, oversight, and operations.
Target possible reductions in repetitive work, delays, errors, or cost-to-serve — assessed and measured in context.
Roadmaps, governance, investment priorities, operating models, and outcome measures.
02 Cross-Industry Consulting
Strategy, CoE design, governance, and delivery experience transfer across industries — and every solution is tailored to each sector's workflows, data, risks, regulation, and operating model.
Clinical AI, remote monitoring, computer vision, wearable and IoT solutions, and regulated deployment.
AI operating models, advisor support, document and knowledge intelligence, investment-research synthesis, client insights, KYC intelligence, and decision support.
Digital customer experience, chatbot and omnichannel intelligence, self-service adoption, and legacy-platform transformation.
Predictive ship-management strategy, operational intelligence, equipment reliability, maintenance, safety, and information-heavy workflows.
Small, well-scoped automation and AI opportunities that can be evaluated before committing to a larger program.
03 Featured — AI Centre of Excellence
An AI CoE connects strategy, people, platforms, and governance — so AI moves reliably from experiment to production.
Built an AI CoE from greenfield — operating model, team structure, competency frameworks, MLOps standards, and AI intake governance.
70 people · four geographies
Scaled an AI engineering organisation across four geographies.
five clinical AI platforms

05 Project Portfolio
Organisations and clients are anonymised; every item is labelled, and figures are documented outcomes.
Strategy, operating-model, and architecture design for enterprise AI delivery.
A strategy and architecture blueprint, charting the path toward future deployment.
06 AI opportunities for growth businesses
Other engagements — each with a sensible first step and the considerations that set it up for success.
Opportunity: free up staff time from manual extraction and sorting. First step: pilot one document type — extract key fields for staff review. Consider: formats, privacy, human review, integration.
Opportunity: help staff find answers in policies and manuals quickly. First step: an assistant over a few approved documents, with links to sources. Consider: content currency, permissions, cited answers.
Opportunity: respond to enquiries faster with prepared drafts. First step: categorise enquiries and draft responses for a person to review and send. Consider: accuracy, customer data, human ownership.
Opportunity: give every enquiry a timely response. First step: organise enquiries by agreed criteria and flag those needing timely response. Consider: clear criteria, with people deciding the follow-ups.
Opportunity: keep stock levels well matched to demand. First step: alerts for unusual demand or low-stock risk from existing sales and inventory data. Consider: data quality, seasonality, staff review before reordering.
Opportunity: build work-order and field-service schedules in minutes. First step: propose schedules from availability, location, and business rules for a person to approve. Consider: real rules, edge cases, acceptance.
Opportunity: make visual inspection faster and more consistent. First step: explore computer vision for one defined inspection task with human review and testing first. Consider: image quality, variation, false positives.
Opportunity: spend meeting time on decisions while the summary drafts itself. First step: turn approved recordings or notes into draft summaries and action lists. Consider: privacy and consent, human review, retention policy.
Opportunity: gain clarity on where AI delivers the most value. First step: a short workflow review that identifies where process redesign or existing software offers the best path. Consider: cost, capability, change effort.
Each engagement is a well-scoped first step, evaluated on its own merits — building confidence before committing to a larger program.
07 Delivery Approach
Understand goals, workflows, users, cost pressures, data, and constraints.
Assess value, feasibility, readiness, cost, complexity, and risk.
Design the CoE, operating model, governance, people, platforms, ownership.
Architect, prototype, or guide implementation of selected solutions.
Evaluate adoption and outcomes, then refine or scale responsibly.
08 Responsible AI
Responsible AI runs across the lifecycle — governance, privacy, security, human oversight, explainability, auditability, model and prompt evaluation, monitoring, and regulatory readiness. Oversight designed in from the start and monitored after release — AI that is controlled, auditable, and ready to stay in production.
Governance designed for Board assurance, regulatory scrutiny and production accountability.
Frameworks and regulatory domains reflected in professional experience include those listed here — areas of working familiarity gained through hands-on practice.
Protecting AI systems and the data they touch — secure model and prompt handling, data protection, access controls, adversarial input awareness such as prompt injection, and security review built into evaluation and deployment.
Clear ownership, policies, and checkpoints — intake and prioritisation gates, risk assessment, human oversight and escalation paths, audit trails, and monitoring that keeps models accountable in production.
Fairness, transparency, and respect for the people affected — bias awareness, explainability, privacy by design, and honest communication about what a system can and cannot do.
