Board Technology Advisor · France · EU
Using causal analysis to guide the management of disruption from Artificial Intelligence, Quantum and Advanced Security Technologies.
He has spent 30 years building and scaling technology companies. He held senior commercial roles at RiverSoft, SMARTS, and Voyence — all in causal analysis and root cause analysis — through their acquisitions by IBM and EMC. He co-founded Quantum Security Defence (QSECDEF) from a standing start to 1,200 members across 40 countries. He built H2O, the GCC's leading data consultancy, from scratch in Dubai, and helped establish Cambodia's first credit bureau alongside the IMF and World Bank. He also built a hospitality company from nothing to 21 properties and market leadership across Southeast Asia.
He now works where boards most often get it wrong: understanding enough about what the engineers are building to ask the question that changes the decision.

AI Governance
Most boards think they have an AI strategy. What they have is an AI conversation that has not yet become a governance structure. The distinction matters — and the failure patterns are specific.
AI Governance
A failed AI governance audit is a specific, recoverable problem. The boards that recover well focus on causal gaps first and documentation second. Most do it in reverse.
AI Governance
Every organisation with AI in production will have an AI incident. The governance question is whether the review process exists before the incident occurs, or gets built in its aftermath.
Board Advisory and NED Roles
No firm affiliation. No secondary interest in a follow-on engagement. Entry via a paid board assessment, then advisory board position for boards of companies navigating AI adoption, quantum security transition, or deep technology decisions without internal expertise.
