What is a fractional expert?
A fractional expert is a senior professional who works with companies on a part-time, flexible basis, providing strategic leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire.
I believe that delivering real impact requires consistency and collaboration that often doesn’t result from a traditional consulting model. For this reason my preferred engagement model is to be embedded in your business.
I offer flexible fractional engagements starting from 10% (20 hours per month) with a minimum 3 month term.

Transforming conversations
Conversations, particularly those with customers, are at the heart of any business. Yet for most enterprises, they represent untapped data for management.
Recent advances in language AI create a timely opportunity to eliminate this information gap.
Conversation Intelligence refers to the use of artificial intelligence to analyse and extract valuable insights from unstructured spoken or written conversations.
It enables businesses to better understand their customers in real-time, driving meaningful improvements in performance and outcomes.
