Description

I help organizations solve their toughest people development challenges, whether fixing a failing AI rollout, designing high-impact learning programs, or building capability frameworks that actually change behavior.

What I bring: I offer 20 years of experience in Learning and 10 years in HR, not as a career freelancer, but working inside global organizations like Morgan Stanley, HelloFresh, and Babbel.

I understand the internal friction, the politics, and the reality that your teams are already overwhelmed because I have been in your shoes. I bridge the gap between theoretical best practices and what actually survives in a complex business environment.

AI Adoption & Implementation Most AI rollouts fail because they ignore the human element. I diagnose blockers (governance, capability, culture) and build the solution

What I do

Most AI rollouts fail at the human layer. Organizations invest in tools, licenses, and strategy, then nothing changes. I help mid-market HR and executive teams diagnose what's actually broken (governance, capability, manager readiness, culture) and build concrete adoption roadmaps that stick.

I work three ways:

AI Readiness Audits – Structured diagnosis of adoption blockers across capability, culture, leadership, and infrastructure

Learning & Implementation Programmes – Workshops, toolkits, and facilitation that translate adoption strategy into behaviour change

Change Storytelling & Content – The Human Stack newsletter (6,000 subscribers) turns adoption thinking into communication and credibility

Why I'm credible

20+ years shaping learning, talent, and organizational change at scale—HelloFresh (global), Babbel (Berlin), Morgan Stanley (risk and compliance), and the Devonshire Group (1,200+ colleagues). I understand what happens when strategy meets messy human reality. I know how to design learning that actually changes behaviour, not just knowledge.

Who I work with

HR directors, Chief People Officers, and senior leadership teams at organizations across the UK and Europe who are serious about making their AI investment pay off.

If this describes you

Your AI rollout isn't delivering the results you expected. Your teams aren't adopting the tools. Your leadership team knows something's wrong but can't quite put a finger on what. If that's you, let's talk.
