About

👋

I am a technologist and entrepreneur with an academic background and over 20 years of experience in product development, artificial intelligence, and building and growing technology companies.

My work focusses on applying AI and emerging technologies to solve real-world business problems.

Current Work

I am currently the CTPO and co-founder of VC-backed startup OpenDialog.ai, creating a no-code Conversational AI Agent Management system with a strong focus on safety and trustworthiness.

Mentoring startups at the Creative Destruction Lab, working on the AI and Next Generation Computing streams.

Relevant Past Work

Prior to OpenDialog, I co-founded GreenShoot Labs, a Conversational AI consultancy which was acquired by TPXimpact an AIM-listed UK services company.

I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Southampton, where my research focused on agent-oriented software engineering. I’ve authored several books and academic papers on AI and multi-agent systems.

Throughout my career, I’ve been motivated by the challenge of bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical business applications. Hand in hand with that I’m constantly learning about how to create environments where teams can thrive, fostering both professional growth and personal wellbeing in an authentic and open way.
