Enterprise technology / AI transformation / products / stories

I modernize what matters and untangle what is stuck.

I am an enterprise technology leader, AI transformation advisor, product builder, and writer. After nearly three decades in enterprise IT, most recently as VP of Technology at FOX, I now help turn ambitious technology ideas into operating reality.

Beyond Work The person behind the work.

Cars, motorcycles, surfing, fitness, family, food, books, reinvention, and the life around the work.

Work

Transform and troubleshoot.

I work best where technology ambition meets real-world complexity: platforms, processes, people, politics, budgets, vendors, adoption, and the quiet details that decide whether a transformation actually lands.

Lead

Fractional or interim technology leadership across enterprise applications, AI transformation, operating models, and executive technology decision-making.

Advise

Strategy, roadmap, governance, and adoption support for organizations moving from AI interest to practical execution.

Review

Strategic technology reviews for major initiatives, vendor complexity, stalled programs, platform decisions, and execution friction.

Build

Product and app strategy shaped by someone who has led enterprise teams and also ships his own digital products.

Public recommendations describe me as someone who sees process clearly, applies technology to drive productivity, leads through change, coaches teams, and relentlessly looks for improvement.

Products

I build useful things, not just opinions.

My products sit at the intersection of practical systems thinking, personal experimentation, privacy, behavior change, and AI-enabled execution.

Live product

PulseKegel

A private pelvic floor training app for men who want better control, strength, and confidence without awkward routines or guesswork. Short guided sessions, haptics, progress tracking, and no account required.

Digital toolkit

AI Launch Playbook

Enterprise AI tools and playbooks for teams that need to move from excitement to practical planning, adoption, and business value.

In development

What’s Your Beef

A product idea in development, part of a wider habit of turning everyday friction into useful digital experiences.

Writing

Ideas, essays, and a bookshop in York.

I write about enterprise AI, work, reinvention, trust, operating reality, and the gap between what looks impressive in a demo and what people will actually use.

Technology essays

My public writing explores the AI era from an operator’s point of view: adoption, trust, white-collar automation, AI-powered development teams, and why vision is becoming scarce.

Fiction in progress

In a centuries-old bookshop in York, a guarded immortal woman who has survived 2,200 years of love, war, motherhood, and loss is forced to confront the one thing she has avoided most: being truly known. When Henry Locke, a widowed former tech executive from Los Angeles, returns to the shop where he once found refuge as a lonely boy, their work cataloguing old books becomes something far more dangerous: a quiet partnership that begins to uncover not just the value of forgotten objects, but the cost of a life spent hiding from connection.

Beyond Work

The whole person matters.

Work is part of the story, not the whole story. The deeper layers include classic cars, motorcycles, surfing, VR fitness, family, food, fiction, reinvention, and the odd dangerous romance with a spreadsheet.

Motion

Motorcycles, surfing, fitness, and the parts of life that require balance, nerve, and repetition.

Machines

Classic cars, product systems, old computers, modern AI tools, and the satisfaction of making things work better.

Story

Fiction, memory, family, identity, and the question that keeps showing up in different forms: what does it cost to become known?

Contact

Open to the right conversations.

I am interested in fractional leadership, short-term transformation work, AI strategy, strategic technology reviews, product partnerships, and writing or speaking opportunities that fit the way I think and work.

For role-specific background, I keep tailored resume versions behind the scenes: fractional CTO, enterprise transformation, AI advisory, and product-builder versions.

Tell me what kind of conversation you are opening: fractional leadership, short-term transformation, AI advisory, product strategy, or something more specific. I will send the version that matches the need.
