Director of AI & Digital Transformation · Helping enterprises become next-generation AI-native organisations · $15M+ delivered impact · 50+ programs · 4 AI products · Renascence Consulting · Dubai
AI and Digitalisation don't transform a company. A new operating model does, so across three planes: technology, business, and people. For 24 years, I've worked across eight industries: heavy mining, contemporary art, international education, real estate, retail, FMCG, healthcare, and premium fitness. Different sectors taught different lessons. Over the past two years, I've focused on agentic AI, AI coding, GenAI, and multi-agent systems. I build operating models in which AI and people work together as colleagues. Before AI, I was CIO of an LSE-listed gold mining major (8,000 staff, 110 IT FTE, $15M+ IT budget). I delivered $1.5M in cost optimisation and 98.997% SLA across UK/Russia operations. I was CTO of Letovo, the #1 IB school globally in 2025. I spent 7 years on a family office special project in contemporary art and 13 years building tech for a premium fitness chain, including the UFC Gym franchise. Across these roles, I delivered 300+ digital, innovation, and M&A programs alongside Big-4 and worked directly with Forbes-listed owners. Now, I'm Director of AI and Digital Transformation at Renascence Consulting in Dubai. I lead AI transformation programs for mid-to-large enterprises across the UAE, KSA, Cyprus, and the broader MENA region, often embedded as their fractional Chief AI Officer for the engagement. Over the past two years, I've delivered 50+ AI strategy and transformation programs, shipped four proprietary AI products into production, and built a corporate multi-model LLM platform with agentic workflows and AI governance. I also advise on Analytics at Retailhub, an FMCG startup. I work with enterprises rebuilding around hybrid agent-and-human teams, with new roles and new economics. Separately, I engage with family offices on AI strategy across portfolio companies. I also advise early-stage AI-native founders on landing their first enterprise contr

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's diverse experience across multiple industries (retail, healthcare, real estate, mining, education, art, fitness) and roles (consultant, co-founder, director, CIO) indicates adaptability and a broad perspective. While the target role is 'Cybersecurity', the recent focus has been heavily on AI and Digital Transformation. The early career experience in cybersecurity is relevant, but the current trajectory is more aligned with strategic technology leadership and AI implementation. This might require a re-alignment or a specific cybersecurity leadership role.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership, strategic planning, and team management skills through their various Director and CIO roles. Their experience in establishing IT governance, vendor management, and improving CSAT scores indicates a focus on operational excellence and stakeholder satisfaction. The emphasis on 'AI-first' methodologies and human-in-the-loop systems at WORLDPATH•AI suggests a pragmatic and responsible approach to technology implementation.
