My Story
Growing up, I was always drawn to both technology and human potential. This dual interest led me through my PhD in Computer Science to leading data science teams across healthcare, retail, marketing, and AI startups.
But my journey wasn't just about advancing technology—it was about the people behind it.
Finding Purpose Beyond Corporate Success
Throughout my corporate career, I found success leading data science teams and implementing AI solutions across various industries. Even though I enjoyed solving real-world problems, I felt something was missing. While I took pride in mentoring my team members and watching them develop, I wanted to make a wider impact—to help more people navigate the challenging intersection of technology and career satisfaction.
I also realised that the corporate environment rarely allowed me to use my full range of talents. My background spanning healthcare, retail, marketing, and AI gave me a unique perspective, but traditional roles often limited me to using just a small portion of these skills.
The Human Side of AI Transformation
Through my work, I met many talented experts struggling to adapt as AI transformed their industries. A healthcare professional with decades of experience told me they felt their expertise was becoming "outdated" with new technologies. A marketing professional with brilliant creative ideas couldn't connect them to the world of algorithms and data.
These conversations, alongside my own experience, changed how I viewed my career.
I realised that the greatest challenge of the AI revolution wasn't the technology—it was human. The gap between technical knowledge, industry expertise, business needs, and personal fulfillment wasn't just a business problem; it was causing real anxiety for talented professionals who weren't sure how to move forward in this new landscape.
Building Bridges for Others
That's when my purpose became clear: to build bridges and help others do the same.
When I helped that healthcare professional see how their industry knowledge was actually their greatest strength in an AI-driven world, their relief was obvious. What truly changed their outlook was reconnecting them with their original passion for patient care—showing them how AI could enhance, not replace, the values that had drawn them to healthcare initially.
When I helped that marketing professional translate their creative ideas into AI strategies, their enthusiasm was infectious. The real breakthrough came when they discovered how these new capabilities could boost their creative satisfaction and bring them closer to the parts of their work they truly loved.
These moments—seeing someone's worry turn to confidence, watching their career uncertainty transform into purpose, seeing them rediscover joy in their work—reflected my own journey and became the most rewarding parts of my career.
My Mission Today
Today, I've moved beyond corporate boundaries to focus on helping businesses implement AI solutions that deliver real results while guiding professionals to advance their careers in this changing economy. This path allows me to make the broader impact I've always wanted and to fully use my varied skills and talents.
My work covers implementation frameworks, strategic guidance, and personalised coaching, and group workshops and courses—all with one aim: helping others succeed in a world where technology, industry expertise, business strategy, and personal values need to work together.
My approach comes from my own unique journey—but it's driven by a simple belief: the future belongs to those who can build complete bridges. Technical capabilities, industry expertise, business results, and personal fulfilment all connected.
I'd be honoured to help you build your bridge to success—one that leads not just to career advancement, but to genuine meaning and satisfaction. Having navigated this bridge myself to find ultimate fulfilment in my own career, I know firsthand the transformative power of connecting technical capabilities, domain expertise, business impact, and personal values.
