AI advisory and product work for organisations that need it to move real numbers.
I help leadership teams ship AI work that survives contact with reality — not pilots that die in committee. Founder of Skycot. Twenty years across operations, growth and product.
Three things, with the same operating principle.
Advisory
Working with executive teams on AI strategy that survives contact with the org chart. A small number of engagements at any time.
Skycot
Founder and CEO. Building an enterprise agent platform that takes AI work from pilot to production without the usual breakage.
Writing
Essays on AI, operations, and what is actually working in the field — not what the vendor decks claim.
What I have been thinking about.
Why most enterprise AI pilots die in committee
The pattern is so consistent it should embarrass us. The reason is not the technology. It is that pilots are being scoped, governed and reviewed the same way ERP migrations were scoped twenty years ago.

I work from Melbourne with a small number of advisory clients alongside Skycot — focused on organisations that want AI to move real numbers, not headlines.
Before Skycot I held operating roles across growth-stage businesses, mostly in roles that ended in "of operations" or "of growth". The throughline has always been: someone has a complicated machine, the machine is leaking value, and the work is to find the leak and seal it.
That is still the work. AI is the new instrument. The job has not changed.
The best way to reach me.
Direct email is reliably read. I keep a LinkedIn presence but treat it as a public square — for anything substantive, write.
