About

I lead The Mindshift, helping visionary organisations fuse culture and technology to shape what’s next.

As a Fractional Creative Futurist, I work at the intersection of cultural intelligence, exponential technologies, and board-level strategy. My mission: turn disruption into opportunity and ensure human creativity thrives in an age of intelligent machines.
