Speaking

TEDx Talk: Digital Renaissance Man

TEDxMuscat, 2019

Available for keynotes, panels and facilitation on artificial intelligence, digital assets, strategy and leadership.

What I do

I work with boards and leadership teams on decisions about technology they were never trained to evaluate. Sometimes that is advisory. Sometimes it is teaching. It is usually both, because the organisations that need the advice also need their own people to become competent.
