sourced_title: Head of Enterprise Data Management Consulting

headline: Chief Product & Innovation Officer | Founder | GenAI · Agentic AI · AI Governance | Driving innovation & growth |Ex-Cognizant, IBM, Protiviti | Author & Speaker | UK · India · Middle East

about:
As Chief Product & Innovation Officer and founder, I run an AI product incubator and development studio operating across the UK, India and the Middle East. We take enterprise AI products from zero to revenue: product strategy, AI product management, GenAI and agentic AI engineering and go-to-market through strategic alliances with global system integrators and consulting firms.
I have built in the category I know best: AI-native governance, risk and compliance (GRC). Our flagship product applies large language models and agentic workflows to vendor spend and contract risk — turning value leakage, obligation exposure and contractual dependency from an annual audit finding into a continuous, live signal. Currently deployed with Tier-1 global banking and enterprise clients.
I led Data & AI businesses at Cognizant, Prodapt and Protiviti: a $60M AI, analytics and data practice for Europe; a multi-year deal worth 30% of practice revenue; 20% YoY practice growth; and first-party partnerships with Microsoft, Snowflake, AWS, Google Cloud and Databricks — from alliance formation to co-sell execution. I know how hyperscaler ecosystems work because I've built inside them.
I write and speak on enterprise AI adoption, AI governance and responsible AI, product-led transformation, and the economics of GenAI — as a published author, LinkedIn newsletter writer, MIT Sloan alum (AI: Implications for Business Strategy), and former guest lecturer at Praxis Business School.
One belief runs through all of it: data and AI create advantage only when they change a decision. Everything I build is in service of that.

My main takeaway from the opening of the AI for Good Summit in Geneva: We need to stop talking about AI ethics in the abstract and focus entirely on deployment reality.

Three core dynamics from yesterday stand out:
