For conference organisers, executive teams, universities and communities who want a speaker who has built, run or taught what I talk about. Keynotes, conference talks, executive briefings, live build-and-deploy workshops, panels and podcasts.
What changes in an enterprise architecture when agents are first-class actors: reference architecture, protocol layers such as MCP and A2A, data strategy as agent strategy, model selection as an architectural decision, and the governance language that determines how precise your human oversight can be.
How a delivery team actually runs with agentic coding tools: the rules, hooks, commands and purpose-built agents, the review gates and evidence trail an enterprise will accept, and what changes for architects, testers and security. Drawn from building agentic tooling used on programmes valued at over $10M.
Composable and MACH estates in practice: platform selection, DXP, CMS and MarTech consolidation, the migrations that go wrong, and how to design an estate that can absorb agents without another rewrite.
Establishing delivery centres in Mexico, Costa Rica and India and handing each to local leadership; why every Accenture programme was a teaching engagement (build the bench, staff it, certify it, hand it over, repeat, until it reached 1,500+); developing successor architects; the faculty practice that produced two architecture-school awards; and why capability transfer is the deliverable, not the afterthought.
Lessons from the Sierra Leone Learning Passport, the open election data platform adopted by the Independent Media Commission, election-violence monitoring for IFES in the Maldives and Senegal, and low-power ICT laboratories for schools: designing for low bandwidth, institutional continuity and local ownership.
Twenty-five years of paid teaching, from secondary-school mathematics to enterprise architects: why the ability to teach is what makes architecture, delivery and leadership transferable, and how to build it into a team.
Teaching engagements are included because they are the largest part of the record; the awards they produced are on the credentials page.
