Speaking
Talks for leadership teams, boards, and offsites. Plain-spoken, cited, and allergic to hype.
Flagship keynote
Not Everything Should Be AI
Why the most valuable AI strategy starts with knowing what not to build, and how the discipline of saying no protects the programs worth scaling.
Keynote
Governance Is the Accelerator
The counterintuitive case that clear rules make teams faster, not slower. What governed-from-day-one actually looks like inside a large company.
Keynote
Your M365 Tenant Is Your Crown Jewel
Why the data estate you already own matters more than the models you can buy, and what governance work dating back to 2005 taught me about AI readiness.
Talk
The Discipline of Saying No
A practical talk on killing bad AI use cases early: the intake questions to ask, the politics of passing, and what saying no frees up.
Talk
Lead With Insight, Not Agreement
On the Challenger mindset in AI transformation: teaching executives something new about their own business, and holding firm when the honest answer isn't the comfortable one.
