High-impact formats built to align leadership teams, evaluate technology, and mitigate transformation risk.

Structured engagement models

Three formats, each with a defined audience, duration and deliverable.

01

Interactive Leadership Workshops

  • Target audience: executive HR teams and transformation steering committees.
  • Duration: half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours).

  • Duration: ongoing monthly retained arrangement.
  • Core deliverable: monthly strategic reviews, confidential vendor evaluation, tech stack consolidation strategy, and direct advisory access.
03

About my practice

Sitting at the intersection of human resources, executive strategy, and software engineering, I help organizations navigate complex technological shifts without losing sight of human experience.

With over 25 years in the HR technology sector, my work focuses on a clear objective: giving People leaders the technical independence they need to make confident software decisions.

Beyond my private consultancy, I serve as the AI and Tech Panel Leader for The HR World, guiding industry dialogue on digital transformation. As an active software engineer, I have built products including QuikAuthor, an AI-enabled authoring platform, alongside native mobile applications published on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

This dual perspective ensures my strategic advice is grounded in real-world technical execution.


The two halves of the practice have their own pages: the advisory work and the custom engineering.

Request an HR AI readiness audit

A direct discovery discussion about your HR technology stack, your AI readiness, or a custom build. You speak to me, not a sales representative, and your details never enter a marketing list.
