Work with me

Two ways we can work together

Whether you're programming a stage or building a learning product, the starting point is the same: people should leave able to do something differently. Not just having heard something interesting.

Speaking

Keynotes on how people actually learn

Conferences, leadership away-days, training teams. One promise: people leave able to do something differently. Not just having heard something interesting.

Consultancy

Pedagogy is half the job. The technology that delivers it at scale is the other half.

Twenty years building learning products at Growth Engineering taught me one thing: good learning science goes nowhere without the tech, the data and the systems to carry it. I help companies, EdTech teams and governments with both. How people learn, and how technology, AI and data deliver that learning to millions.

What I advise on

AI & adaptive learning

Giving every learner a personal experience, at scale. That is the problem I keep coming back to. Where AI truly helps people learn, where it is just for show, and how to build learning that stretches people instead of drilling facts.

xAPI & learning data

Measuring what learners actually do, not just what they clicked. Setting up xAPI and the data behind it so you can see real progress and real impact. That is the thing that matters.

AI product & EdTech advisory

For EdTech teams and founders building learning products: what to build, how to ship it, and how to tell genuine AI value from theatre. Two decades of building award-winning learning technology, at Growth Engineering and Zavmo.ai, put to work on yours.

Skills & job-description libraries

Clear libraries that link each job to the skills it needs and the learning that builds them. The join between a job description, its skills, and the path to get there. Reusable across a company or a whole industry.
