About
Work Experience
I’m a strategic advisor specialising in AI governance, cybersecurity, and systems oversight. I work with leadership teams, public institutions, and investors to navigate complex technological, regulatory, and organisational environments.
I’ve advised venture and institutional investors on governance-sensitive investment strategies, AI system risk, and regulatory alignment. I’ve also worked with companies, government agencies, and NGOs to strengthen oversight frameworks for emerging technologies.
As a public policy advisor, I’ve contributed to key legislative initiatives and continue to support institutions in anticipating the structural and societal impact of advanced AI systems. I’ve been recognised as a Power Player by both Business Insider and SC Media for my leadership in technology governance and public-interest security.

Strategic Advisory on AI Governance, Cybersecurity, and Systems Resilience
I advise leadership teams, public institutions, and investors on governance, risk, and oversight in the context of advanced technologies.
-
I work closely with leaders to navigate emerging risks, interpret systemic challenges, and develop strategies that support institutional resilience and long-term outcomes. My advisory is grounded in research, structured analysis, and a systems-level perspective, with a focus on:
AI Governance & Risk Strategy
Supporting the development and deployment of advanced AI systems through advisory on governance frameworks, oversight mechanisms, and alignment with evolving regulatory expectations. Includes advisory for investors conducting governance-sensitive diligence, pre-deployment risk assessments, or strategic market alignment.
Cybersecurity & Resilience Planning
Providing executive-level guidance on digital risk posture, organisational preparedness, and the integration of security strategy within broader governance structures.
Policy & Systems Engagement
Advising on institutional participation in policy dialogue, regulatory preparedness, and strategic positioning within the evolving landscape of AI and cybersecurity governance.
-
I bring a blend of strategic clarity, technical depth, and policy fluency to every engagement. My work supports decision-makers in navigating complex systems, institutional risk, and long-range governance challenges—whether in AI, cybersecurity, or emerging technology.
Each engagement is structured, discreet, and informed by the specific context in which decisions are made. Advisory relationships are shaped with precision and guided by a commitment to confidentiality and trust.
-
I work with boards, institutional leaders, public-sector partners, and venture & institutional investors.
Initial Consultation
Each engagement begins with a focused conversation to understand the organisation’s context, goals, and risk environment. This dialogue establishes the foundation for a tailored and confidential advisory relationship.
Strategic Guidance
Following the consultation, I provide structured, actionable recommendations — aligned with strategic objectives and informed by current governance, regulatory, and operational realities.
Ongoing Advisory
Where appropriate, I offer continued counsel to support implementation, advise on emerging risks, and ensure strategies remain coherent and durable over time — delivered with discretion and continuity.
