Speaking

Straight talk on AI strategy — for rooms that want substance over hype.

I speak to boards, executive teams, and conferences about what AI actually means for strategy, governance, and leadership — grounded in what I've seen work, and what hasn't.

Topics

A few places to start.

AI Strategy for the Boardroom

What directors actually need to know to govern AI decisions well — the questions to ask, and the ones that matter more than they sound.

Beyond the Pilot: Making AI Durable

Why most AI pilots never scale, and what separates the organizations that turn early experiments into lasting advantage.

The Fractional AI Officer Model

A practical look at how organizations are getting senior AI leadership without a full-time executive hire.

AI Governance Without the Bureaucracy

Building responsible AI practices that manage real risk without slowing the business down.

Formats

Flexible to the room.

Keynotes Executive briefings Closed-door board sessions Panel discussions Workshops
