Prepare Your Organization
for AI


Mid-market enterprises need more than tools and training to succeed with AI. I help leadership teams prepare the Human Layer—so your AI investments deliver results.

Preparing Organizations for AI Through the Human Layer


As the Executive Director, Center for AI Readiness in Asia Pacific (AIR APAC), I help mid-market enterprises and government-linked organizations prepare for AI adoption. Not by selling tools—but by addressing what actually determines success: leadership alignment, culture readiness, capability development, and governance.

The AI services market is a barbell. Individuals access free courses. Large enterprises hire McKinsey. The $50M–$500M segment is left without a credible option. Too mature for basic training. Unable to justify Big 4 fees.

I address that gap

Driving AI Readiness Across APAC

The AI services market is a barbell. Individuals access free courses. Large enterprises hire McKinsey.

The $50M–$500M segment is left without a credible option. Too mature for basic training. Unable to justify Big 4 fees.

I address that gap.

Contact Me

With 25 years of advisory experience across APAC, the UK, US, and Australia, I bring a practical perspective on what moves organizations—and what stalls them.

My clients include HSBC, P&G, Citibank, DHL, Shell, SD Guthrie, and Tata. My focus today is helping leadership teams navigate AI adoption with clarity and confidence.

Speaking


Drawing from enterprise transformation experience and hands-on advisory work across Asia-Pacific, my presentations help leadership teams understand what AI readiness actually requires. These aren’t motivational talks—they’re strategic briefings for executives navigating real decisions.

The AI Ready Organization

Why do most AI initiatives fail? Not because of technology—but because organizations prepare tools before they prepare humans. This keynote introduces the six dimensions of AI readiness and what leadership teams must address before their next investment.

The Human Layer

AI transformation is a leadership problem, not a technology problem. This presentation explores the cultural, governance, and change management challenges that determine whether AI investments succeed—or become expensive shelfware.

The Mid-Market Advantage

Large enterprises move slowly. Startups lack structure. Mid-market organizations—$50M to $500M—can move with both speed and discipline. This keynote provides a practical roadmap for AI adoption without Big 4 budgets or multi-year timelines.

Lead, NextGen Customer Experience

HSBC, London | Hyderabad | Kuala Lumpur

One of five managers selected globally to lead HSBC’s service transformation program — the bank’s largest change initiative at the time.

Scope: 33,000 front-line employees across global operations, serving 10 million customers.

Outcomes:

– 93% awareness across target population
– 72% active participation rate
– Established as internal benchmark for enterprise-wide change

Additional impact:

– Six Sigma initiative reduced staff attrition from 54% to 25%, saving $400K annually
– Led recovery of high-risk migration for HSBC UK’s largest institutional customer (16 million accounts)

This experience shapes my conviction that organizational transformation is fundamentally a leadership and change management challenge — not a technology exercise.
