Big-picture thinking.
Hands-on delivery.

I’m the London-based founder of Ornis. My work connects business strategy, AI products and organisational change. The examples below are from previous roles, rather than Ornis client engagements.

Approval time in days, reduced through process redesign at Guidehouse.

Deloitte · Enterprise AIStrategy, adoption and implementation

At Deloitte, I led pilot-success, strategy and programme-management work for a Copilot rollout reaching nearly 6,000 participants. My work included stakeholder engagement, adoption metrics and executive reporting, alongside requirements, testing and validation for a Copilot Studio agent. I also delivered an enterprise Data & AI Strategy with input across 18 business units.

Guidehouse & BroadFutures · OperationsBetter ways of working

At Guidehouse, I led a process redesign for a 200+ employee organisation that cut manual errors by 40%. Earlier at BroadFutures, I stepped into operational leadership and implemented a CRM covering 3,000 contacts, reducing manual effort by 50%.

Princeton · Research & policyA broader perspective on technology

B.A. in Public and International Affairs and Princeton Project 55 Fellow. Studies included Ethics of Emerging Technologies and Technology & Society. Research at the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination strengthened my policy analysis and synthesis.

AI evaluation · Practical experienceQuality matters as much as capability

Evaluated more than 1,100 AI-generated outputs per month using structured quality assessment. This informs a practical approach to testing, human review and deciding where AI earns its place.
