About

I’m a senior healthcare transformation leader turned health tech & AI ecosystem builder, with over 21 years’ experience across clinical practice, digital informatics and national operational leadership in NHS Scotland. Most recently, I served as National Associate Director for the National Elective Co-ordination Unit, leading large-scale programmes that improved access to care, delivered £9m+ in cost avoidance, £1m+ in direct savings, and enabled 20,000+ additional appointments and 15,000+ extra patients treated. Alongside my national role, I’ve worked with health tech and AI startups on: • AI governance and strategy for an AI scribe startup • Solutions for planned care validation and pathway optimisation • Bespoke applications to support strategic delivery in healthcare I’m hands-on with SharePoint Lists, Dataverse and Power Automate, and I’m actively deepening my AI expertise (e.g. Elements of AI – University of Helsinki) while using tools like ChatGPT, Claude and agentic workflows in practice. What I’m great at is bridging worlds: • Translating startup and vendor offerings into something health systems can understand, buy and scale • Designing and delivering training and education that makes complex tech “click” for non-technical users • Leading multi-stakeholder programmes across governments, boards, clinicians, digital teams and industry partners I’m now open to roles in Health Tech / AI across the UK and Europe, particularly in: • AI / Health Tech Business Development & Ecosystem roles • AI Education & Community Outreach (staff, customers, public) • Digital & AI Strategy across healthcare and related sectors If you’re building AI or digital solutions for healthcare and need someone who understands both the startup world and the reality of NHS decision-making, governance and operations, I’d be happy to talk.
