Bio

I am a Partner at McKinsey, working within QuantumBlack, McKinsey's Centre of Excellence for Artificial Intelligence (AI). I focus on helping organisations scale their AI ambitions. I also am QuantumBlack’s lead on Diversity and Inclusion. I am a pragmatic and results-driven CxO level thought-partner with over 20 years of experience in leading and delivering complex technology solutions, projects, and products. I have been fortunate and privileged to have led multiple engineering teams to serve clients in many different domains, including Editorial, Energy (Oil and Gas), Government, Pharma, Healthcare and Life-sciences, Finance, and Retail. My combination of a people-first and engineering background has allowed me to have a hands-on approach to leading organizations to digital change. In the last few years, I have focused on helping my clients run Artificial Intelligence (AI) in production, moving away from experiments to real implementations that run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. I enjoy mentoring and coaching others, including building future leaders. I have been active with organizations like Career Ready and Thames Reach, UK-based charities focused on supporting young people and the vulnerable to get an education, find a home and a job to help them flourish. I love talking about AI, Data Science, and Engineering and do so frequently at conferences globally.
