Profile

I build the infrastructure, teams, and intelligence that let organisations decide faster.

My work sits at the intersection of technical rigour and commercial impact, designing end-to-end analytics infrastructure, leading cross-functional teams, and translating multi-source data into insight at the executive level.

Across financial services, government, media, technology, and public affairs, I have engaged senior decision-makers at sovereign institutions and regulated organisations, with a growing focus on regulatory and risk intelligence and the practical deployment of applied, generative, and agentic AI.

Capabilities

What I bring to the table.

Data Strategy & Governance

End-to-end analytics infrastructure, KPI frameworks, governance, and executive reporting that give leadership one reliable view.

Applied & Agentic AI

LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG architecture, and automated workflows with n8n that compress reporting and research cycles.

Business Intelligence

BigQuery and SQL pipelines feeding Tableau, Power BI, and Looker dashboards for real-time decision support.

Statistical Analysis

Scoring models, A/B and control-group testing, and benchmarking indices that turn raw data into measurable outcomes.

Risk & Regulatory Intelligence

Real-time risk and regulatory monitoring for financial institutions, regulated corporates, and government entities.

Research & Insight

Primary and secondary research, brand health tracking, and media intelligence across consumer and institutional audiences.

Leadership & Coaching

Built analysts from the ground up into confident points of contact for senior business stakeholders, through structured capability programs across multiple levels.

Commercial Development

Upsell and pipeline growth, RFI and RFP management, and translating analytical value into commercial outcomes for clients.

Data Engineering & Pipelines

BigQuery and SQL pipelines, automated ingestion with n8n, and warehousing that feed reliable downstream reporting.

Approach

A 360° view of the data pipeline.

I look at problems from the widest lens, then own every step in between. I take a business question, translate it into technical requirements, and manage the full pipeline from data inflow to data outflow, then translate the technical results back into plain business language that answers the original question.

How the work actually flows.

Anonymised process walkthroughs. No client data, just the method and the outcome.

A regulatory intelligence platform I built and run.

Independently designed and operated, tracking financial-regulator activity across the region. A live demonstration of applied and agentic AI in production, from automated collection through to published intelligence.
