01 / WHAT I ACTUALLY DO

Six ways I create value inside a complex organisation.

The capabilities are organised around outcomes and implementation—not around a long list of tools.

01

AI Transformation & Opportunity Design

Identify where AI can create operational value, prioritise use cases and turn the right one into a bounded pilot or MVP.

  • Opportunity Map
  • Use-case prioritisation
  • Pilot design
02

AI Systems & Workflow Architecture

Design role logic, knowledge boundaries, tool access, human approval and automation flows around real work.

  • Agents
  • Human-in-the-loop
  • Workflow
03

AI Product Strategy

Shape assessment tools, decision-support systems, knowledge assistants, internal products and AI-native services.

  • Product logic
  • Rule engine
  • Decision support
04

Knowledge & Retrieval Systems

Structure domain knowledge, entities, retrieval boundaries and evidence so people and AI can use the same source of truth.

  • Knowledge architecture
  • Semantic retrieval
  • Structured data
05

Business, Brand & Growth Systems

Connect positioning, GTM, customer journeys, content architecture, conversion and operating models.

  • Business development
  • Brand strategy
  • Growth
06

Cross-functional Implementation

Translate between founders, domain experts, creative teams, marketers and developers—reducing the loss between intent and delivery.

  • Translation layer
  • Scope
  • Implementation
02 / WHERE I FIT BEST

A role-fit router for different transformation contexts.

The title can adapt to the mandate. The underlying value remains consistent: connect business reality, expert knowledge, AI and implementation.

Relevant roles

  • Healthcare AI Strategist
  • Healthcare Digital Product Lead
  • Patient Journey / AI Workflow Consultant
  • AI-enabled Healthcare Growth Lead
03 / HOW I THINK
“Entrepreneurship led me to marketing. Systems thinking made it scalable. AI became the multiplier.”

A broad career becomes coherent when the same problem-solving method is visible across every domain.

  1. 01
    OBSERVE

    What is actually happening?

  2. 02
    DIAGNOSE

    What is the underlying system problem?

  3. 03
    ARCHITECT

    What should people, data, AI and processes do?

  4. 04
    BUILD

    What is the smallest useful implementation?

  5. 05
    VALIDATE

    Does it improve the real workflow?

  6. 06
    SYSTEMISE

    Can the team repeat it without me?

04 / CAREER EVOLUTION

Not a list of jobs. An evolution in how I solve problems.

01 / SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION

Medical Laboratory Sciences → Human Genetics

Evidence, accuracy, causality, uncertainty and complex systems became part of the way I frame problems.

02 / ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Group buying → Fashion → Hospitality

Markets, offers, customers, operations and distribution turned ideas into consequences—and failure into a learning method.

03 / ZIBATIS / 2018—PRESENT

Strategy → Brand → Growth → Digital Systems

Building a multidisciplinary business made coordination, repeatability and operating systems as important as ideas.

04 / AI TRANSFORMATION

Knowledge → Workflow → Product → Automation

AI became useful when it stopped being a novelty and started multiplying a well-defined system.

05 / COMPANY-BUILDING EXPERIENCE

Founder & Strategy Lead — Zibatis

2018—Present

Zibatis became the environment where strategy, brand, domain knowledge, digital experience and AI had to work as one delivery system.
BUILT THE BUSINESS

Positioning, offers, opportunity diagnosis, GTM and client development.

BUILT THE TEAM

Cross-functional coordination across strategy, content, design, video, web and AI-assisted work.

BUILT THE SYSTEMS

Briefs, SOPs, approval paths, knowledge bases, workflows and repeatable quality controls.

BUILT CLIENT SOLUTIONS

Healthcare journeys, assessment products, dashboards, content systems and automation architecture.

06 / AI SYSTEMS LAB

Systems are grouped by the problem they solve—not by a vanity count.

Each family represents a repeatable architecture. Individual examples are evidence objects inside that family.

12 / TECHNICAL FLUENCY

Enough technical depth to architect, specify and coordinate delivery honestly.

Tool fluency supports the work; it is not the identity. Architecture and specification are distinguished from deep software engineering or ML research.

13 / WHY THE RANGE?

My career looks broad because the problems I work on are broad.

A real transformation problem rarely belongs to marketing, product, AI or operations alone. My role is often to understand enough of each layer to connect them into one working system.

14 / CV FORMATS

Two focused CVs. One consistent positioning.

15 / WORK WITH ME

Let’s build something that has to work in the real world.

I am open to international conversations where business ambiguity, expert knowledge and implementation need to become one usable system.
