Governance
I specialise in AI and governance, helping organisations navigate the practical implementation of artificial intelligence.
With experience in board roles and delivering keynote presentations and training, I focus on combining governance best practices with AI technologies, specifically generative AI and large language models.
My approach is to provide clear, actionable insights for decision-makers, enabling AI to be applied practically and responsibly in various organisational contexts.
My Story
With 35 years of experience spanning the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors, I’ve built a diverse career in governance and commercial management. My expertise has been shaped by roles across sectors, from large infrastructure projects to advanced technology initiatives. Currently, I hold several board roles, bringing a well-rounded, pragmatic approach to every board I serve on.
In 2024, I left FranklyAI and started my own firm with the mission of accelerating the adoption of generative AI in organisations. This initiative builds on my earlier work with FranklyAI®, where I developed real-world, culturally responsive AI solutions for Aotearoa, including te reo Māori and Samoan languages. My focus has always been on applying AI in ways that make sense for businesses and communities, ensuring it’s both aligned with governance requirements and delivers real impact.
Advising organisations on navigating the practical challenges of AI and digital transformation, I emphasise clear, actionable steps and a strong understanding of the technology’s real-world implications. I regularly deliver keynote presentations to prominent bodies, including GNDI, where I share insights on how AI can be used to drive competitive advantage and productivity.
I aim to bridge the gap between governance and technology, providing boards with the tools and knowledge needed to make informed, future-focused decisions. Whether as a board member or advisor, I bring a balanced, pragmatic perspective to the challenges of modern governance in an AI-driven world.
