About

I've spent around 30 years in enterprise technology, including client-facing roles at Tata Consultancy Services, Capgemini and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. These days I help financial services firms put AI to work on real jobs, safely.

I write Signed Off, hands-on AI for financial services. Before that, 63 editions of The High Stakes Leader on enterprise AI. I co-host the No Effing AIdea podcast with David Royle.

What I care about is simple. AI that a credit analyst, a claims handler or a KYC team can use on Monday morning, that their risk team understands, and that someone senior is willing to sign off.

Based in Canterbury, UK. Working across the UK and EU.

I write here every week. My client work runs through my firm, Hold the Pen.
