Become AI Ready
Practical AI training, consulting and implementation to help teams move from experimentation to real-world use.
I work with organisations operating in regulated environments — especially healthcare and finance — to adopt AI safely, responsibly and effectively.
I also support small to mid-size PR, marketing and communications agencies looking to build effective AI workflows for their teams.
What I do
Explore my range of services designed to help you move forward in your AI journey
-
Practical training for non-technical teams who want to understand how to use AI in their day-to-day work.
Workshops are tailored to your context and typically cover:
Where AI can genuinely help (and where it shouldn’t be used)
Safe and responsible use in regulated environments
Applying AI to real workflows such as research, planning, content and operations
Building confidence and consistency across teams
Training is designed to be immediately useful, not theoretical.
-
Strategic support to help organisations make better decisions about AI.
This often includes:
Identifying high-value AI opportunities
Prioritising use cases based on risk, effort and impact
Defining guardrails, governance and ways of working
Helping leadership teams avoid unnecessary complexity or “AI theatre”
The aim is clarity and focus, not over-engineering.
-
Designing and running small, focused AI pilots that test real use cases.
I help teams:
Define the problem clearly
Scope a realistic pilot
Select appropriate tools
Measure outcomes and learn quickly
Pilots are designed to inform decisions about scaling — not to become long-running experiments with no clear outcome.
-
Support to embed AI into existing workflows once a pilot proves value.
This includes:
Workflow and process design
Adoption planning and team enablement
Refinement and iteration based on real usage
Ensuring AI becomes part of day-to-day operations, not a side project
The focus is always on sustainable use and measurable impact.
Experience & Impact
Recent examples include:
Designing and leading AI pilots across healthcare, finance and agency teams
Building governance and adoption frameworks to support safe AI use at scale
Delivering AI automation that increased operational efficiency by 48%
Automating 20% of service workflows in a regulated healthcare setting
I bring experience from healthcare, pharma, financial services and agency environments, with a focus on AI adoption and operational delivery.

Who I work with
I primarily work with organisations in regulated industries, particularly healthcare and finance, where safe AI adoption, governance and trust are critical.
I also work with small to mid-size PR, marketing and communications agencies who want to build credible AI capability internally or without overpromising or under-delivering.
