💡 Technology should serve people — not replace their value.
I help B-Corp and social enterprise CEOs navigate AI adoption with clarity, courage, and care — protecting what makes their organisation human while unlocking innovation.

🚫 You’ve seen what rushed, misaligned tech can do: fractured teams, eroded trust, and mission drift.
💪 You’re committed to leading with integrity, but you’re under pressure to do more with less — while keeping your culture intact.

That’s where I come in.
With 25+ years in IT transformation and professional coaching credentials, I bridge the gap between technical AI expertise and human-centered change leadership.
Unlike tech consultants who overlook the human cost — or coaches who avoid the tech — I guide adoption so your organisation comes out better than before: more connected, more resilient, and more aligned to its mission.

🛠 The Better With Humans™ Method
1️⃣ Clarity Before Code – Align AI with your values and impact goals before choosing tools.
2️⃣ Lead from the Inside Out – Guide change with courage, empathy, and moral clarity.
3️⃣ Human-in-the-Loop Teams – Engage people early, co-create solutions, and build trust.
4️⃣ Sustainable Systems for Impact – Build long-term capability, measure what matters, and evolve without burnout.

📌 What You’ll Walk Away With
✅ A clear, values-aligned AI roadmap
✅ A confident, engaged team that feels safe in the journey
✅ Protection for your culture and mission
✅ Momentum for innovation — without losing your people in the process

🤝 If you want AI to strengthen your people, trust, and values — not undermine them — let’s talk.
