My AI business
I founded Voxd to help organisations put AI to work. We bring together strategy, intelligent agents, automation, business knowledge and creative AI to improve how businesses operate and serve their customers.
My work spans personal consultancy, practical AI projects and building Voxd. You can work with me directly for advice, leadership, training and exploration. Where a project calls for wider implementation or ongoing support, we can discuss delivery through Voxd.

You might have a specific project in mind, a team that needs direction, or simply a process that ought to work better. We can start there.

Good AI needs sound foundations: useful data, reliable integrations, careful evaluation and people who stay in control. That’s where my software and technology leadership experience comes in.

Read the story on VoxdA little background
I’ve spent my career helping businesses use technology to solve problems. Today, my focus is AI: the advice, experimentation and hands-on work that turns a promising idea into something people can actually use.
As a founder and former corporate CTO, I’ve seen technology from both sides: making the business decision and doing the work to deliver it. Over the years I’ve delivered hundreds of projects, from e-commerce to entire business systems.
I’ve also built a social-media-connected karaoke machine on a double-decker bus for Mastercard. Some problems are more unusual than others.
Along the way, I founded XView, a platform for rapid bespoke software development. That experience remains part of the foundation for my work with AI and Voxd today.
Work with me
If you’re exploring AI or need an experienced pair of hands to move something forward, I’d like to hear about it.
A slow process, an idea you want to test, or a decision you need help making. You don’t need a technical brief.
We’ll talk through the problem, what you already have and where AI could make a worthwhile difference.
That might be a focused review, a workshop, a prototype or ongoing support. We’ll agree the scope and approach together.
