About

Since 2015, I have worked directly with NVIDIA, including being part of the early build out of NVIDIA’s European team during a key AI growth phase. Since then, I have supported NVIDIA Neo Cloud partners as they scale from initial GPU deployments through to large scale, enterprise grade software and infrastructure environments. I specialise in advising founders, investors, and leadership teams on how to structure technical operations, leadership layers, and embedded teams in line with GPU milestones, platform maturity, and customer demand. My role sits at the intersection of NVIDIA, hyperscale compute, and execution, combining operating model design, market insight, and delivery. I am Co Founder of WNTD. WNTD is the engine that builds and embeds the specialist teams that power next-generation Nvidia AI infrastructure.

Advising on the creation of a sovereign, vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform in Europe, designed to underpin the next phase of the global AI build out.
The programme integrates power, land, data centre development and high performance GPU compute into a unified AI factory model, structured to attract long duration institutional capital and deliver disciplined, large scale execution.
I am working across platform architecture, NVIDIA ecosystem alignment, commercial structuring, operating model design and organisational build out, ensuring the infrastructure stack and leadership capability are engineered to scale in parallel as the platform moves from foundation through proof of concept into full deployment.
