I lead strategy, transformation, and M&A in financial services — and help large organisations actually adopt AI, not just talk about it.
Operating models and greenfield builds designed to survive contact with the real organisation.
From idea intake to prototypes, governance, and rollout across the enterprise.
Buy-side and sell-side, full lifecycle — due diligence through to post-close warranty.
Change that reaches Monday morning — people doing different things, not a deck that gets filed.
No hand-curated theatre. Two streams flow here automatically from my own tools: the notes and posts I publish, and the books I read and review. If it's here, it's because I made it or read it — not because a marketing calendar said so.
Father of three, married to Kate. We live in Hong Kong.
Gym & Hyrox — I do this for longevity, not fun. Did a Hyrox with the boss (aka my wife) and almost died. Might do it again.
Practical Stoicism — Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius as operating principles, not platitudes.
Hard sci-fi — Wolfe, Watts, Banks. Dense, dark, philosophical. Also read in Russian.
The builder side — a self-hosted homelab and a family of AI agents I probably over-engineer, for fun.
