About

I work with executives, private equity operating partners, and board leaders to design the AI operating model and delegation architecture. I help them make the decisions that move organisations from AI momentum to accountable, measurable results. Most engagements start with an Executive Calibration session before material capital is committed. No hype. No theatre. No ‘AI-powered’ slideware. It’s the deep work that actually determines results: • how information flows • how decisions are made • how humans and agents coordinate across boundaries • how processes become intelligent These are the conditions that make organisations fit for a world shaped by autonomous systems. I’m the author of UNHYPED: From Hype to Hard ROI in the Age of AI. Written for executives, operating partners, and board leaders, it helps organisations cut through noise, see the systems that matter, and move with intelligence instead of imitation. My work focuses on AI systems design, agentic workflows, and the economics of intelligent infrastructure. Over the last decade I’ve advised founders, C-suites, boards, and technical teams across the UK and Europe. I specialise in helping organisations see their architecture clearly, then redesign it for coordination, control, and measurable ROI. My current work spans: • AI architecture and organisational design • Agentic systems and workflow intelligence • Executive decision frameworks and ROI discipline • Controls, oversight, and safe scaling for live deployment • Escalation and stop authority for agents and automation • Advisory for labs, public institutions, and emerging ventures I believe the future belongs to organisations that understand coordination, not just computation, and who build the intelligent rails their people and systems can run on. If you’re making decisions now that will shape the next decade of your organisation, I can help.

Author - UNHYPED: From Hype to Hard ROI in the Age of AI

Sep 2025Present · 6 mos · Hybrid

  • Author of UNHYPED: From Hype to Hard ROI in the Age of AI, an architecture-led guide for executives, operating partners, and board leaders moving from AI momentum to accountable, measurable outcomes.
  • The book covers:
  • AI as operating infrastructure, not a feature
  • Coordination between people and systems
  • Delegation failure modes: ownership, incentives, and decision rights
  • Controls, oversight, and safe scaling in live deployment
  • ROI through operating model and architecture, not algorithms

Founder & Executive Advisor - Unhyped

Jan 2024Present · 2 yrs 2 mos · Hybrid

  • Unhyped is my independent advisory practice focused on the architecture behind AI outcomes.
  • I work with executives and private equity operating partners facing high-stakes decisions about agents, workflow intelligence, and operating design, where measurable ROI depends on delegation architecture, escalation, and stop authority, not pilots and theatre.
  • My work typically involves:
  • AI operating model and organisational architecture
  • Human–agent coordination and agentic workflows
  • Decision rights, ownership, escalation, and stop authority
  • Controls, oversight, and safe scaling for live deployment
  • Executive decision frameworks and ROI discipline
  • Advisory for enterprises, public institutions, and research labs
  • The work is upstream and decision-forcing: helping leaders see their architecture clearly, then redesign it so automation compounds value rather than creating hidden exposure.
