I help organisations embed strong data governance and project management into their digital transformation and AI initiatives—ensuring data is reliable, traceable, and purpose-driven.

With over six years of international experience across Europe, Australia, and Latin America, I’ve led programs that bridge AI innovation, regulatory compliance, and sustainability goals—particularly in circular economy and reporting.

I design governance frameworks that enable cross-functional collaboration and empower both technical and non-technical teams to work confidently with data.

By translating complex legal, technical, and business needs into clear, actionable solutions, I make governance a catalyst for innovation and sustainability—not a constraint.

Who I Work With

I collaborate with organisations navigating the intersection of compliance, data strategy, AI and digital transformation — with a strong focus on social and environmental impacts. Examples:

  • Corporates and scale-ups aligning digital tools with regulatory obligations and optimizing processes

  • Sustainability-focused enterprises modernising data and compliance systems

  • Government bodies & NGOs shaping policy or implementing sustainable, circular economy targets

  • Multi-stakeholder platforms requiring cross-functional data governance and digital transformation

  • Tech providers wanting to deliver a sustainable impact through a best-practice project management framework for AI

Business Cases I Support

Data Governance for AI-Ready Infrastructure: Leading cross-functional initiatives to build scalable, standards-aligned data governance systems that serve as foundations for AI deployment, ESG reporting, and regulatory alignment.

AI Project Enablement & Delivery: Driving the planning, design, and coordination of AI-enabled systems—from classification logic to lifecycle metrics—by aligning business needs, compliance goals, and data infrastructure without writing code.

Regulatory Intelligence & Risk Mitigation: Translating complex regulatory frameworks (CSRD, PPWR, ESPR) into actionable project deliverables and system specifications—minimising compliance risk and audit fatigue through structured governance.

Organisational Readiness & Adoption: Managing change programs that build data and AI literacy across non-technical teams, enabling confident adoption of digital systems in legal, product, operations, and sustainability functions.

Scalable Stakeholder Engagement Systems: Developing frameworks and delivery models that enable structured engagement with global networks of suppliers, clients, and regulatory actors—ensuring data traceability and policy integration at scale.

Specializations

Data Governance & AI Strategy

I lead the design of data governance frameworks that align strategy, regulation, and technology to support intelligent, scalable systems. From unified data models to quality standards, audit readiness, and performance dashboards, my work ensures traceability, cross-functional usability, and insight-driven decision-making. I combine strong data analysis capabilities with governance design to translate technical complexity into practical structures that drive innovation—not just compliance. My experience spans national and international contexts, delivering governance programs that enable ethical, efficient digital transformation.

Innovation, Digital Transformation & Systems Design

I create digital systems that adapt, integrate, and scale with purpose. My experience includes embedding ESG metrics, automation, and AI to transform reporting and workflows. I bridge technical and non-technical teams with ease through Project Management. The goal: future-ready systems that drive value and resilience.

Compliance Strategy & Regulatory Intelligence

I convert complex frameworks—PPWR, CSRD, ESPR—into practical compliance strategies. My approach aligns operations and data with evolving legal demands. From certifications to audits, I help organisations stay ahead of the curve. Compliance becomes not just a requirement, but a strategic advantage.

I facilitate alignment across governments, businesses, and international bodies. Through strategic listening and structured engagement, I drive collaborative, outcome-focused decisions. I turn fragmented interests into coordinated action. My work thrives where clarity and consensus are most needed. Examples of collaborators I’ve worked with: World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), Open3P by Open Data Manchester (UK), GS1 Global, Ellen MacCarthur Foundation (UK), Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (AU Federal Government) and Fortune 500 companies.

AI-ENABLED DIGITAL INNOVATION IN COMPANIES

My portfolio includes applied training in AI-driven initiatives that demonstrate how emerging technologies can drive efficiency, insight, and innovation across complex systems. Through real-world case studies and hands-on simulations, I explored use cases such as forecasting pollutant trends for air quality management, developing NLP workflows for multilingual disaster communication, and applying machine learning to optimise wind pattern prediction for energy grids. I also examined AI applications for legal operations, regulatory reporting, and biodiversity tracking using image recognition.

DATA GOVERNANCE, COMPLIANCE AND REGULATORY INTELLIGENCE

My portfolio includes leading and contributing to complex data governance initiatives that support compliance and sustainability reporting at both national and international levels. As a team lead, I managed Australia’s official packaging consumption and recovery data, which feeds into the Federal Government’s National Waste Report, and delivered rigorous data analysis and stakeholder collaboration for the ANZPAC Plastic Pact Impact Report. As part of these efforts, I also managed dashboards to provide clear, real-time insights to stakeholders. With a strong focus on data quality, transparency, and multi-stakeholder alignment, I design and implement governance frameworks that transform regulatory and compliance requirements into actionable insights and strategic outcomes.
