For many people, the answer is never. Yet financial decisions are some of the most important decisions we make throughout our lives.

headline: Accenture Responsible AI Executive | Helping Fortune 100 companies deploy AI safely at scale while navigating regulation

about:
What does it take for AI to be not only powerful, but worthy of our trust?

That question drives my work as a Responsible AI Governance executive at Accenture, where I advise the world's leading organizations on how to adopt and scale AI responsibly. I help leaders capture the promise of AI while building the safeguards that make innovation durable.

Governance, to me, is not bureaucracy. It is architecture for trust. I design AI governance operating models and risk management strategies that let organizations scale with confidence, anticipate regulatory shifts, and embed ethical judgment into everyday practice. I brought this perspective to global policy as an Artificial Intelligence Governance Alliance (AIGA) Fellow within the Accenture–World Economic Forum partnership.

What distinguishes my approach is its range. Over more than two decades spanning academia, government, and industry, I have moved between worlds that rarely speak to one another. I hold a Ph.D. from the Sorbonne in Art Sciences and served as tenured Associate Professor of Cinema and Digital Arts at the University of Montpellier, where I built pioneering curricula in digital creativity and interactive media. I went on to found a technology consulting firm in New Caledonia, then led the interactive design department of a healthcare marketing agency in San Francisco. I later founded a Responsible AI consulting practice, through which I pioneered AI courses as a founding scholar at Aivancity, the first global school of business and AI. That trajectory taught me to read technology as a cultural and societal force, not merely a technical one, and to see risk boundaries where others see only opportunity.

This interdisciplinary lens is my differentiator. It lets me translate between engineers and boards, bet

headline: AI Strategy for Real Estate & Valuation | Senior Director @ Artefact | RICS AI Standards Co-Author | Keynote Speaker on Digital Transformation & the Built Environment

about:
I help real estate organisations navigate one of the most profound shifts in the sector’s history: the transition from judgement-based decision-making supported by data to decision-making driven by data and AI, governed by professional expertise.

As a Senior Director at Artefact, I lead large-scale transformation programmes for property owners, investors, and developers across Europe and the Middle East. My work focuses on modernising operating models and embedding practical, auditable AI capabilities that deliver a durable competitive advantage. Whether designing unified data platforms for global fashion houses or implementing AI-led decision-making tools for FTSE 100 firms, my goal is always to enhance professional expertise through technology, not replace it.

Beyond consulting, I am deeply committed to shaping the future of the surveying profession. I serve as Vice-Chair of the RICS Valuation Governance Board and co-authored the international AI in Valuation standards currently used by the profession worldwide. I am also an external examiner for built environment programmes at University College London (UCL), supporting the development of the next generation of professionals.

My academic background, including an MSc in Sustainable Urban Development from Oxford University and a Global Executive MBA from INSEAD, complements over 20 years of international experience, ranging from pioneering property data assets in Mongolia to advising on the $80bn Qiddiya project in Saudi Arabia

I am a frequent keynote speaker at major industry events worldwide and advise organisations, professional bodies and institutions on the responsible deployment of AI in real estate, valuation and urban development.

My focus is not on technology for its own sake, but on helping organisations

When we set out to write the RICS Responsible Use of AI standard, one principle anchored everything: the value lies in the surveyor's judgement, not the system's output.

This new RICS piece captures it well. An AI system can summarise a lease, flag a defect or generate comparables in seconds, but none of that is advice. It carries no responsibility and no accountability. It is the surveyor who in

I had the pleasure of sitting down with the team at GoReport to discuss (in some length) how I think AI will impact the UK's Surveying industry over the next few years. They got me on a positive day where my head was full of the opportunities that AI will unlock for our industry!

They have allowed me to paste here my (kindly edited for brevity) answers to the interview. Please do have a read.

"We've turned on AI for everyone." No, you've bought a licence. That is not the same thing, and the gap between the two is the most important story in property right now.

In my new article for Artefact I argue that doing nothing has quietly become the riskiest choice a property firm can make, that we are at risk of automating away the juniors who become our future experts, and that the firms wait

content:
In property, doing nothing has quietly become the riskiest thing you can do.
I meet a lot of executives who switched on Copilot for their teams, waited for the transformation, and are puzzled it never arrived. The uncomfortable truth is that buying access to AI is not the same as adopting it. And the firms treating "wait and see" as the safe option are making a bet many of them will not survive.

I recently spoke with RICS Modus about the human factor in AI-assisted decision making. My key point is that technology has become a leveller in our industry. AI will be the tide that will raise all property companies.

CBRE have Ellis, and JLL has Falcon, all automating the same lease abstraction, take-offs, and first drafts. Claude is going to likely make both irrelevant soon with property spec
