Speaking, podcasts, and press.

I speak and write about engineering leadership, enterprise AI, and the path from commanding a warship to commanding an engineering organisation. Available for conferences, podcasts, and panels.

Topics

Engineering leadership at scale

Building and running engineering organisations from a handful of people to 200+ engineers, covering org design, hiring, performance, and culture.

AI in the enterprise

AI-native engineering, agentic systems, and what it takes to ship AI into regulated, Fortune 500 environments where mistakes are costly.

From the navy to the C-suite

Lessons from 13 years as a naval officer and a 30-month warship command, and how that translates into leading under pressure in tech.

AWS Brings Compute, Storage, and AI Services to Athens with New Local Zone

Amazon News · 16 June 2026

“We built Omilia in Athens and scaled it to the world on AWS. In AI, models evolve fast, but what endures is the platform underneath. That's what we've spent two decades building, and it's why we can train and deploy bespoke AI models for global brands at speed. Having AWS infrastructure locally in Greece means we can develop and iterate on that platform closer to the team that owns it, with lower latency, while continuing to serve customers across the globe. Competing at the highest level in AI, that combination of local presence and global scale is exactly what we need.”
