Helping organisations understand how AI is reshaping the labour market and what that means for people.

ABOUT

I'm passionate about helping people live empowered lives, and I believe work plays a key role in that. Over the last ten years I've worked across research, public sector, and tech advising governments, international institutions, and businesses on how to navigate labour market trends and prepare for the impact of AI.
