The Narrative Engine
A decade of bridging the gap.
My journey began at the intersection of technical curiosity and commercial necessity. As the Pioneering Founder of Hertzian, I spent a decade navigating the raw complexity of AI development, transforming award-winning technology into a scalable business unit.
This experience led to a pivotal shift. Recognized as a leading voice in the UK ecosystem, I began Representing the UK on International Trade Missions, advising global partners on how to move past the "Hype Cycle" toward robust, governed implementations of machine learning.
Today, my mission is singular: To empower the next generation of global boards to navigate the AI era with the same pragmatic rigor that built Hertzian.
Answers, Not Data.
I believe organizations are drowning in metrics while starving for clarity. My methodology is built on the core belief that raw data is a liability until it is distilled into an actionable answer that can be defended in a boardroom.
