About me

My mission is to help people become the one their company trusts to run AI work.

plain words, checked work

I studied economics and then finance at RMIT University.

From 2023 to 2026 I worked in Victorian government, mostly in audit and regulation roles. At the Department of Treasury and Finance I led the function's first AI deployment. At VAGO I used AI agents to research annual-planning topics with the highest impact for Victoria.

Now I run AI for Consultants, a free Skool community where I teach people to use AI at work.

My strongest skill is giving executives the confidence to approve an AI project. I can explain the tech in terms of the business goal, and the business goal in terms the tech team can build. That is the skill I teach.

How I like to work

I let AI do the first pass and a person do the final check. Nothing goes out until someone has checked it against the source.

How to work with me

  • AI does the first read, a person signs off
  • Plain words over jargon
