Fractional Chief AI Officer | Principal Strategic Advisor | Operationalising AI for Enterprise Growth

I bridge the gap between Board-level Strategic Intent and Agentic Execution.
As a former Director managing a $200M P&L and large-scale transformation programs, I understand that AI is not just a technology project—it is an operational lever for efficiency, speed, and resilience. I don't just build agents; I build Intelligent Operating Models.

My advisory approach is grounded in 15 years of Sales, Pre-Sales, Product, IT and Operational leadership at Optus, where I delivered measurable P&L impact through cultural transformation, process re-engineering and automation:

Operational Velocity: Led Project Jaguar to reduce fulfilment cycle times from 90 days to 19 days, increasing on-time delivery from 50% to 85%. Scalable Efficiency: Project Future halved IPVPN fulfilment cycle times, and tripled sales quoting output by redesigning team structure and BSS/OSS architecture.

Commercial Resilience: Managed the $200M Voice P&L, delivering year-on-year growth and protecting revenue during the COVID disruption. Strategic Capabilities: I partner with C-Level leaders to deploy intelligently leveraged systems where human strategy directs autonomous AI execution.

Intelligent Orchestration: Modernising the "Lead-to-Service" value chain. I leverage AI as a bridge between teams and systems, reducing friction and accelerating revenue recognition.

Intent-Based Engineering: Moving beyond standard LLM deployments to build "Safe-by-Design" workflows that align strictly with organisational governance and culture.

Workforce Augmentation: transitioning teams from manual administration to high-value strategy by deploying AI agents that handle complex, repetitive logic.

You don't need another chatbot. You need an AI force multiplier that scales your strategic capacity without scaling headcount.
