About the sessions

I speak to business audiences about strategy, leadership, AI adoption, retail and the future of work.

My sessions are practical, commercially grounded and designed to help leaders think more clearly about what is changing and what to do next. With board-level retail experience and cross-industry advisory work, I bring a grounded perspective rather than a hard sell.
