I build and operate businesses at the intersection of AI and security — two domains
that increasingly define how enterprises manage risk, protect data, and scale technology.
Self-confessed AI obsessive.
For the past 27 years I've been a partner at EY, where I've served as CTO and led the
commercialisation of the firm's global technology portfolio — platforms, AI, and digital products.
I also built and ran the global enterprise risk management program, conducting extensive
risk assessments and mitigation planning across the organization. Before EY, I founded and
sold a security software company, and earlier still helped build firewall technologies through
a startup that was acquired.
I studied AI at the University of Texas back in 1991 — long before the current wave — so the
technology side of this work isn't abstract to me. I've been hands-on with it for over three decades.
Based between Toronto and London.
