International stage experience
On stages and in conversations across the UK and internationally.
From London to Riyadh, speaking and moderating on AI, the future of work and the skills of tomorrow.
“AI isn't just changing technology. It's changing what people can do.”
For more than a decade, my work has centred on people, skills and opportunity. Today, I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and workforce transformation, helping organisations move beyond the excitement of AI towards practical adoption, while exploring what this technological shift means for our future.
What I think about
Three conversations, one thread: people.
Artificial Intelligence
How AI is changing organisations, decision-making, productivity and the way people work — from practical adoption and human-AI collaboration to the emergence of AI agents in everyday business.
The Future of Work
The economic and organisational transformation driven by intelligent technologies: changing jobs, new ways of working, leadership and the future of enterprise.
Skills & Economic Opportunity
How people, educators, employers and governments prepare for an AI-driven economy — drawing on a decade across apprenticeships, social mobility, inclusion and workforce development.
On stage
Ideas worth sharing. Conversations worth having.
Keynotes, panels, moderation and workshops in London, Riyadh and beyond — on AI adoption, workforce transformation and the skills that will shape tomorrow's economies.
