Fractional AI

Not every HR team needs a full-time AI hire. Sometimes you just need someone who knows what they're doing, part-time, until your team can run it themselves.

  • I embed inside your HR team on a schedule that fits you. No fixed hours, no locked-in contract. I work alongside your people to identify where AI fits, build it into your workflows, and upskill your team as we go. You get the expertise of a dedicated AI hire without the overhead of one.

  • People are experimenting but there's no direction, no consistency, and no one joining the dots. I bring structure to what's already happening. I triage what's working, what's not, and where the real opportunities are. Then I help your team build the habits and confidence to keep it moving.

  • I don't hand you a report and leave. I sit inside your team, attend your meetings, and work on real problems alongside your people. The goal is to build enough capability that you don't need me anymore. The engagement flexes as your team grows. When they're ready to run it themselves, I step out.

AI + HR Design

Most AI adoption programmes teach prompting hacks. I redesign how work actually gets done, with AI as the engine underneath.

  • I work with leaders and HR teams in New Zealand to figure out where AI fits and get it off the ground. Strategy, coaching, or both. I stay until you can run it without me.

  • I work with HR teams to figure out where AI fits in your existing workflows, then design and build it in. Practical AI that sits inside the way you already operate with your tech stack. You get workflows that are built to last and a team that's confident using them.

  • AI adoption falls apart when your people aren't ready for it. I use a change model built from years of leading people through shifts they didn't ask for. We measure where your team is now, what the change requires of them, and what support gets them there with confidence, not compliance. Leadership team, HR function, or whole organisation.

Organisational AI Strategy

I help organisations build an AI strategy that starts with who they are, not what's trending. Grounded in your values, your purpose, and the direction your business is heading.

  • Whether you jumped in early or you're just getting started, the "now what?" feeling is real. I help you step back and build an AI strategy that actually fits your organisation. Your values. Your purpose. Where you're heading. Not a copy-paste roadmap from someone else's business. A clear plan your leadership can align on and your people can move with.

  • That's a better place to start than most people realise. None of it works if your leadership team isn't aligned. My background in psychology, HR, and executive leadership means I know how to get leaders in the room and sort through the messy human stuff. The behaviours. The beliefs. The things nobody has said out loud yet. Leaders walk out aligned and confident that nobody is being left behind. That's when AI strategy actually moves.

  • I use a proprietary process that helps leadership teams align their purpose and values with a clear set of AI principles. These aren't rules that stifle innovation. They're guardrails that give your team the confidence to experiment, learn, and move forward without second-guessing every decision. When people know the boundaries, they stop freezing and start doing. That's the psychological safety your team needs to operate in a period of change this dynamic.

How I Work

  • Understand before I advise

    Before anything else, I get in understand your business. What's actually happening, what's already been tried, where people are stuck . This isn't a discovery form. It's a conversation, and I'm listening for the things you haven't quite named yet.

  • The solution is yours

    I work with proven frameworks but I don't paste your name onto someone else's programme and call it a roadmap. The structure is mine. The application is yours. Every engagement is shaped around how you work, what your people need to hear, in a way they'll actually receive.

  • Built to last without me

    I'm not interested in creating dependency. Whatever we build together whether thats capability, process, confidence, needs to work when I'm not in the room. That means I don't just deliver content. I make sure it lands, sticks, and gets used by real people in real conditions.

  • The view from every floor

    Executives need a different conversation than employees. The strategy looks great until it hits the people it was designed for. I know how to have them all and how to connect them. That's what keeps a programme alive past the launch.

  • "Thanks so much for your time, insights and expertise in talking us through the benefits of AI in our field of HR. Your presentation was so polished and you're an excellent engaging presenter."
