For rooms that need the question changed, not the answer.
Keynotes, workshops, panels, and firesides. Tell me your audience, your format, and what you need the room to walk out believing — I'll tailor the rest. Based in Manchester, UK. Available worldwide.
Director of Product Marketing & Content at Upsun (formerly Platform.sh). I lead positioning, narrative, and content strategy for a platform built for the AI-native era.
On nights and weekends I'm building four AI-native side projects: askcodex.ai, kinhold.app, getgaal.com, and number6.ai. I write about both.
Each works as a 30–45 minute keynote, a half-day workshop, or a panel/fireside. Tell me the audience, the format, and the outcome — I'll tailor the rest.
How changing one question unlocked five years of strategic deadlock.
