I come from the business and sales world, so I know how it feels to sit across from engineers and feel like they're speaking a different language. Over 14 years in IT, including more than 8 years training at Google and speaking at large corporations, I watched AI close that gap: tools became accessible enough for every business leader to use, not just engineers. Today, I translate AI into the language of business, and show leaders that their own expertise is what makes it work.

I often compare business leaders to doctors. A doctor isn't intimidated by a blood test: they know which markers to check, which correlations matter and what kind of further tests to order. Business leaders have that same expertise in their field, and AI rewards it. They know which data matters, which external sources to bring in, and which trends to watch.

That's my goal every time I leave a room: leaders who feel like the medical experts of their field, eager to get involved in their data for better AI results. It's one of the many metaphors and real-life examples I use to make AI practical, while taking resistance to change seriously. And because I teach platform-agnostic best practices, what your teams learn applies whatever tools you use.

Questions I can help you answer

Questions I can help you with

The five questions leaders ask me most.

I feel overwhelmed by AI. Where do I start?
Start small and concrete: learn basic prompting skills and a handful of key terms (model, agent, hallucination). Then we pick one repetitive task in your role and try AI on it, with examples from your industry.
Do I need an AI agent, or are prompts enough? How do I build one?
If a task follows the same steps every time, a good prompt or simple workflow is enough. An agent earns its place when it must plan, use several tools and decide on its own. I can help you build your first one: define the goal, connect data and tools, set guardrails, test with a human in the loop, then scale.
How do I govern AI agents and stay compliant with the EU AI Act?
Treat agents like new team members: a clear scope, limited access and a named person accountable. List your AI uses, classify their risk as the EU AI Act requires, log what agents do and train your people. I'll teach you governance best practices that protect you without slowing innovation.
My data is scattered everywhere. How do I break the silos and innovate?
It all starts with a data-driven innovation plan and seeing your data as an asset. Pick one business question, gather the sources it needs onto a shared platform, agree on owners and definitions, then let teams explore it with BI and AI. Each quick win makes the case for breaking the next silo, and I'll guide you through every step.
My teams are sceptical. How do I get them on board?
Resistance is normal: it usually comes from fear of the unknown. The human side of change is at the heart of every session I run. I share change management practices that work for IT, from involving people early to celebrating the first quick wins.
