about:
Hi, I'm Cam. I'm a data nerd.

AI is changing the field of Data & Analytics, and I want to be out in front of that trend. I spend my time exploring how AI can be effectively leveraged by data teams, testing new products and approaches, and keeping up with the evolving tech landscape.

My career grew up in the age of Big Data, where open source tools, user groups, and info sharing were the norm - and that catapulted the industry forward. I believe now that we need to find the same energy for AI for data teams, as the next big push to get more from our data. We're in it together, trying to push the industry to the future. Let's collaborate.

In 2026, I was honored to be named one of Crain's Chicago Business' Notable Leaders in Accounting, Consulting & Law.

headline: L&D Strategist & Transformation Consultant | Building Learning Capability in APAC GCCs | Data, AI & Change | Ex-KPMG

about:
Capability gaps don’t fix themselves with off-the-shelf training. They require diagnosis first.

My approach to L&D is forensic, I map the skill landscape before designing a single intervention. At GCC, this has meant building skill gap analysis dashboards that give leadership a clear view of where capability risk lives and where to invest.

That intelligence drives design. This year, I architected a structured learning calendar ensuring full coverage across technical, functional and behavioural capability with role-differentiated AI interventions and capstone projects embedded where experience and role demand it.

At Infocepts, deployed to a Fortune 500 engineering client, diagnostic insights translated into 15 targeted interventions for 400+ employees, achieving 30% higher participation and 60% reduction in manual operations.

At KPMG, I redesigned L&D operations at scale, automating workflows, overhauling onboarding for 500+ hires, and building dashboards linking learning outcomes to business KPIs.

The thread across all of it is the same start with the problem, not the solution. Diagnose before you design. Measure what actually moves the needle.

What I bring is the full spectrum forensic diagnosis, precision learning design, and operational transformation, from insight to impact.

If you are building learning capability in a GCC or scaling L&D for transformation, let’s talk.

about:
The future belongs to organizations that transform faster than their competition. I help enterprises harness AI to create sustainable competitive advantage while their competitors wait for the technology to "stabilize."
Most companies are making a critical mistake: treating AI adoption as a technology upgrade rather than a fundamental shift in how value gets created. The volatility isn't a bug—it's the feature that creates competitive advantage for those who move decisively.

I architect enterprise AI strategies that balance rapid innovation with governance frameworks that scale. Recently, I designed a comprehensive agentic strategy for a Fortune 500 manufacturing company—developing enterprise governance processes, empowerment frameworks, and platform evaluation systems using coordinated AI agents to achieve what traditional approaches couldn't deliver.

✍A key insight: The workforce is evolving from knowledge workers to intellectual workers—those who augment deep expertise with AI to solve problems that neither humans nor machines can tackle alone. Organizations that understand this shift will outpace those still optimizing for yesterday's work patterns.

✍Why most AI initiatives fail: Current agent coordination patterns (conversational, hierarchical, workflow) assume you can predefine the discovery process. But knowledge work is fundamentally about uncovering what you don't know you don't know. I've reverse-engineered why these patterns break down and developed approaches that work with the messy, iterative nature of real business problems.

My focus areas:

● Enterprise AI strategy and competitive positioning
● AI governance frameworks that enable rapid innovation
● Agent ecosystem architecture and deployment
● Transforming workforces for AI-augmented performance

about:
Transformations work when they outlast the programme. That's what I build for. I help multinationals and large to mid-size companies turn digital and AI ambition into lasting organisational capability.

Most of my career has been spent at the intersection of strategy and execution: shaping transformation roadmaps, redesigning operating models, and building the internal conditions for change to sustain itself.

At Philips I led a 240 FTE Agile transformation across Digital Marketing and E-Commerce, defining the program, building the team, and embedding new ways of working that outlasted the initiative.

At PA Consulting I've led AI adoption programs and digital transformation engagements across financial services, health tech, and consumer brands, including serving as an internal AI champion helping the firm itself advance its AI capability.

What I do well: connect the dots across strategy, organisation, and technology; translate complexity into roadmaps people can actually execute; and bring together stakeholders with different agendas around a shared direction.

I'm not typically a large-team manager, and I've proven to be most effective running focused, high-impact initiatives with clear accountability and room to build.

I'm drawn to organisations where transformation is genuinely strategic, and not a rebranding exercise.

If you care to spar about leading meaningful change in a complex organisation, I'd be happy to connect.
