Signature Talks

Talks for leaders making decisions about data, AI, and responsibility.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should
How leaders decide what to build, deploy, and scale when data and AI create real consequences.
Responsible decisions at scale
Turning ambiguity around data, privacy, and AI into decisions teams can actually stand behind.
Privacy by design
Your data is a clusterfuck without it
AI without blindspots
How to pressure-test AI decisions before they become reputational or regulatory problems.

When decisions get hard

  • When governance hasn’t kept up with growth

  • When data or AI decisions are stalling progress

  • When boards, investors, or regulators are asking hard questions

  • When teams need judgement, not just rules

I don’t do checkbox talks or surface-level compliance.
I focus on judgement, clarity, and decisions leaders can stand behind.

Workshops

For teams that need clarity, not just inspiration.

  • Governance frameworks teams actually use

  • Scenario-based decision labs for executives

  • AI launch rehearsals to pressure-test decisions

  • Embedding governance into product and delivery workflows

Designed for leadership teams, cross-functional groups, and executive education audiences.

“Loved the session, informative, lots of resources and it was relevant to the work I do…You are organised, and you talk like a normal person when sharing your knowledge.”
Jill Q, The Coloring In Department

Why me

I work at the intersection of data, privacy, and AI, where decisions actually matter.Founder of Raze. And work as a speaker, educator, and advisor focused on data and AI governance for scaling organisations. My work is about making responsibility practical. Turning regulation, ethics, and complexity into decisions leaders can defend and systems teams can use.I don’t approach privacy as compliance. I approach it as a governance problem. One that shapes power, trust, and long-term growth. Most organisations don’t need more rules. They need clearer thinking.I’m known for asking questions people avoid and turning complexity into decisions teams can make.
