I trained as an engineer and spent my twenties and early thirties building plants for Toyota, running supply chain for Amazon UK and rebuilding a control tower for Delhivery.

Somewhere in the middle, a break room conversation turned me into the person, friends consulted about marriage. The accident turned into a practice, and I sat with people as they made one of the biggest relationship decisions of their lives.

The practice became a company with clients across four continents and then a book that is out later this year.

Then AI arrived, and I dove right in like half the world. I studied the systems, wrote about relational AI alignment, co-authored research at IESE Business School on how AI re-organises skills and capability. I went in looking for a new field, but I came out with my old one with renewed perspective. The closer I looked at machines, the more the questions turned out to be about us humans.

So that’s what I work on now – human connection with machines in the room. And I do this through private coaching practice, teaching courses on relationships and writing, weekly on Substack, sometimes on LessWrong, and once so far at book length.
