What I work on

Four arenas where strategy, technology and growth collide.

Each one is a place where good data and honest change management quietly beat better technology.

01

Commercial Intelligence

Turning customer data into growth.
How organizations transform customer data into durable growth — connecting analytics, CRM and an intelligence layer into systems that actually drive decisions.
02

Industrial Transformation

Modernizing legacy businesses.
Modernizing industrial and manufacturing organizations through practical technology adoption — change management, customer experience and commercial modernization that sticks.
03

Artificial Intelligence

From experiment to impact.
Helping organizations move from AI experimentation to business impact — customer intelligence, commercial analytics and adoption strategies that deliver outcomes, not demos.
04

Global Opportunity

Where industry meets emerging markets.
Researching innovation, investment and industrial growth across Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia — connecting modernization with emerging-market opportunity.
The frameworks

Original models for thinking about modernization.

Five frameworks I've developed to make commercial and industrial transformation legible — and actionable.
