I lead Data Reply, focusing on AI, machine learning, analytics, and data engineering. For over 25 years, I have used data to help clients achieve tangible business outcomes. I started as a management consultant at Accenture, helping energy sector clients get more value from M&A, grow sales, and solve complex pricing and trading problems. About halfway through my career, I discovered that advanced analytics and big data could help customers in energy and FSI achieve value much faster.
I then had the opportunity to set up a UK operation for Slalom. Along the way, I learned how cloud platforms and agile working methods enable businesses to benefit quickly from the latest technology. Before joining Data Reply, I managed a company called Devbridge focused on DevOps that was sold to Cognizant.
These experiences enable me to focus on business outcomes and facilitate alignment between business and technical stakeholders in the organisations we work with, which is critical to successfully implementing AI and generative AI initiatives.
