About me
I have worked with AI since 2000 and spent more than twenty years leading technology strategy and transformation for large organisations. I still build AI systems myself. Xperto AI is how I now work with clients directly.
How I got here.
My focus on AI started in 2000, when I studied neural networks during my master's degree in computer science. Since then I have researched the use of AI across many verticals, including aviation, and I have created both AI and Cloud Centres of Excellence.
I joined ATOS in 2022 on a consulting contract as CTO for the EUROCONTROL account, and in 2025 I was promoted to Global CTO, Aerospace and Aviation. At EUROCONTROL I was responsible for the long-term IT strategy. It moved the organisation from running only its own data centres to fully public cloud, making EUROCONTROL the first regulated aviation organisation recognised as EU critical infrastructure to adopt public cloud. I created the Journey to Cloud (J2C) programme that delivered it.
That work led into the AI strategy I built, which set EUROCONTROL on course to become an AI-first organisation. The major AI transformation now under way there is based on it. As Global CTO I also led the team working on AI-based incident management for EUROCONTROL, including an agentic AI proof of concept.
Before that I was (CTO) Global Lead of Transformation at Nestlé, and Chief Architect on the IAG account, where hybrid-cloud transformation work enabled £21m in client payments on a programme at risk. Earlier roles at Roche, HPE and the BBC, and co-founding AMPS International, taught me how enterprises buy, build and run technology.
Across those programmes I learned that results come from a small, senior team working inside the client's business, with a clear owner for every decision. That is how I work with every client.
I also build. Kaidera, the AI platform I designed, coordinates specialist AI workers with project knowledge and human review. Building it keeps my advice grounded in what can be delivered.
