Working with me
Working with me.
I take a small number of advisory engagements outside my day-to-day at Askari Bank. The conversations I find most useful:
- Banks evaluating their first AI buy-vs-build decision. Especially in markets where vendor economics are imported and don't fit.
- Boards or executive teams setting AI governance and risk posture for a regulated environment.
- Speaking on regulated-AI delivery in emerging markets. Conferences, panels, podcasts.
I am not currently looking to be recruited and I am not currently hiring. If we have something to discuss inside those three lanes, the fastest path is email.
