I help UK mid-market businesses that are PE-backed or preparing for investment build up and evidence their return on AI.

Our Principals have worked with
About me
I am a Fellow Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) with an MBA from Imperial College London, where I held a full-time scholarship for outstanding leadership potential. I designed the value management office with a global life-sciences CFO and championed an automation Centre of Excellence that trained around a dozen consultants.
Through Candor, I help UK mid-market businesses that are PE-backed or preparing for investment put AI to work and evidence the return. A business doesn’t need a large programme to start: it needs one process, a clear starting point and a person who signs off.
I write for The AI Journal and speak on AI adoption. Outside work I’ve competed internationally in lightsaber duelling, which to me is problem solving in three dimensions: in real time, under pressure, within tight rules.
How I help
For CEOs, CFOs and PE operating partners · 3 weeks · fixed fee · a single Baseline (one process, two weeks) as the smaller way in
About 6 weeks · priced as a share of the return
Ongoing · fixed quarterly fee
