Areas of Expertise

Where I work, write and think in public.

These are the domains I have built depth in across enterprise, government, multilateral and non-profit contexts. They are not a service catalogue, they are the lenses through which I read the technology, economics and governance questions facing institutions today.

AI & Technology Governance

How institutions, public, private, government and non-profit, set the rules under which AI and emerging technology can be trusted, deployed, and held accountable.

Responsible-AI frameworks and assurance models
Model risk, evaluation, and audit harnesses
Cross-border data and AI policy interpretation
Board- and regulator-grade reporting

Frontier Technology Transformation

The discipline of turning frontier technology, GenAI, agentic systems, advanced analytics, into transformations that actually ship and survive their first executive review.

Pilot-to-production patterns that hold under load
Operating-model design for AI-native delivery
Capability and talent architectures
Honest diagnostics on why transformations stall

Innovation Economics

Applying economic theory and quantitative method to the question of whether innovation investments compound, or quietly destroy value.

Real-options analysis for frontier-technology bets
IRR, NPV, and risk-adjusted return modelling
Productivity, diffusion and adoption dynamics
Public-good and externality framing for policy contexts

Technology Economics & Cloud FinSecOps

The unit economics of running modern technology at scale, where cloud, security, AI workload cost, and engineering productivity meet on the same balance sheet.

FinOps for AI inference, training, and data platforms
Security-as-cost and shift-left economics
Total cost of ownership across hybrid estates
Run-cost forecasting and re-baselining

Automation & Operating Models

Where automation, AI agents, and human work are recomposed, the design choices that decide whether productivity gains are realised, captured, or evaporate.

Process re-architecture vs. naive automation
Human-in-the-loop design for high-stakes work
Agentic workflow orchestration patterns
Measurement systems for productivity claims

Strategy for the Public, Private & Civic Sectors

A cross-sector view on how technology, economics, and governance intersect, written for enterprises, governments, multilaterals, and the non-profit institutions that work alongside them.

Long-horizon strategy under technological uncertainty
Sector-specific roadmaps (financial services, public sector, energy, telco)
Africa- and emerging-market context as first-class input
Policy-to-implementation translation
