Entrepreneur | Investor | Branding Expert | Author & Host of 'The Entrepreneur's Diary'

I am a Non-Executive Director and innovation leader with 20+ years of global experience driving transformation at the intersection of technology, infrastructure, finance, and sustainability.

I partner with boards, governments, and organisations to build intelligent, resilient systems that deliver lasting value for people, planet, and performance.

My expertise spans clean energy, EV infrastructure, smart mobility, structured finance, data governance, and ethical AI.

I’ve led AI-powered platforms that boost efficiency, cut carbon, and enable inclusive digital services. I have also founded responsible AI initiatives that help leaders govern emerging technologies with integrity, security, and equity.

From smart grids to national digital strategies, I turn complex challenges into scalable, future-ready solutions.

As a trusted advisor on international boards and policy councils, and through global mentorship, I help leaders navigate transformation with clarity, courage, and purpose.

We’re entering a future where biology is no longer just something we study, it’s something we build with.

This sci-fi concept explores a modular body made from organic components that snap together like living building blocks.
And the wild part? 
We’re not as far from this as it sounds.

Across the world, researchers are experimenting with:
1. Bio-hybrid robotics that blend machines with living cells.

2. Lab-grown tissues that move and heal themselves.

3. Organic systems that react, regenerate, and adapt in ways traditional materials never could.

What once felt futuristic is quickly becoming foundational.

The question is no longer “Can we do this?”
It’s becoming: How will biology-as-technology reshape the future of design, medicine, and even identity?

The next era of innovation may not be built in factories, it may be grown in labs.
