About

I’m obsessed with solving problems, bringing structure and clarity to complexity. Since graduating in mathematics in 1990, to today where I look for the sparks in leading-edge tech that bring real and positive change, my superpower has and always will be finding practical solutions.

I am passionate about helping others to shine. For 30 years I’ve been a thought partner to some of the most influential people and companies in global media and technology. Most recently at Google I led multiple AI policy initiatives, offering expert advice to governments and collaborating with research teams to ensure the safe and responsible use of AI. I also supported C-level executives in crafting key external speeches and curated Google’s flagship Zeitgeist conference in Europe.

In co-founding Road to Amherst I’m thrilled to return to my consultant roots, to help businesses navigate the landscape of hyper-accelerating AI in a way that unlocks genuine value.
