About Nathan
Your organization knows AI is critical to its future. The challenge is not whether to adopt it, but how to move from ambition to execution without wasting budget, losing momentum, or creating governance risk. That is where I come in.
I help enterprise organizations design and implement AI strategies that deliver measurable outcomes. With 15+ years of leadership at AWS, Microsoft, and top-tier consultancies, I specialize in bridging the gap between AI vision and operational reality, whether that means standing up an AI governance framework, building the delivery organization to execute on it, or turning around programs that have stalled.
What I bring that most AI advisors do not: I have built the commercial models, not just the strategies. At my current firm, I architected a Six-Pillar AI Adoption Framework, designed a multi-agent orchestration architecture, built the revenue model, and stood up an Innovation Lab, all within 60 days. At AWS, I scaled teams from 5 to 200+, drove 240% YoY growth, and maintained 100% client retention across 20+ Fortune 500 clients. I operate at the intersection of AI strategy, organizational transformation, and delivery excellence.
Typical engagements include AI strategy and roadmap development, AI governance and Responsible AI framework design, organizational transformation and delivery scaling, AI readiness assessments and maturity diagnostics, Innovation Lab design and standup, and go-to-market strategy for AI-led service offerings.
I work as a fractional Chief AI Officer or Chief Transformation Officer, embedding with leadership teams for engagements ranging from focused 8-week assessments to 6-month transformation programs. Based in Europe, available across EMEA and globally.
