Focused on guiding large enterprises and organisations in adopting A.I & Cognitive technologies to implement innovative and game-changing solutions.

Former IBM Watson Cognitive Solutions Leader and a key contributor to some of the earliest AI implementations in Australia.

Adept at leading strategy discussions and in building a vision around client goals and desired outcomes, most importantly building customised solutions. Have proven experience in leading discovery workshops, articulating the value proposition and differentiation, building product and solution roadmaps, and communicating a business value to the client up through an executive level. My previous experience as being part of the core IBM Watson Centre of Competency in Australia, combined with over 15 years of IT experience in building large and complex enterprise solutions has prepared me well to advise and guide my clients as they embark on their AI adoption journey 

I strongly believe innovation is the leading indicator of future growth and profitability and strive to instil the innovation culture in everything I am associated with. I am particularly passionate about the new era of Cognitive Computing that we are embarking on and the technologies associated with it, such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
