Technology governance · AI · IP · Data

I build governance systems that hold when technology meets real operations.

I help technology companies turn AI, IP and data requirements into working governance systems that support growth, external scrutiny and real-world delivery.

Selected work · Software company · Ongoing

From a request for policies to an operational IP and data governance system.

The initial gap was bigger than documentation: no reliable chain of title, no asset register and no shared data-processing structure. I mapped the operating problem, designed the governance architecture and built the working materials.

The current phase is operationalisation. Registries are being populated, sign-offs are moving through the organisation and the routines are being embedded with the people who will use them.

Saudi Arabia

Governance has to fit the Saudi operating context.

International frameworks are a starting point, not the answer. Saudi terminology, institutions, specialist boundaries and operating reality shape what the organisation must actually do.

Kazakhstan · Technology governance advisory

I help technology companies across Kazakhstan build the governance systems that growth will test.

The strongest fit is a technology or product company facing enterprise procurement, public-sector delivery, investor review, expanding AI use or cross-market growth.

The work starts with the live decision and builds the ownership, controls and evidence needed to move it forward.
