Two Decades of Digital Transformation
I’m the AI & Automation Lead at Dexterous Group in Melbourne, where I design and ship the agentic AI and intelligent process automation that Australian businesses actually run on: production AI agents, LLM and RAG pipelines, and MCP integrations into the systems teams already use.
That builds on 25 years of digital transformation and technology leadership across the Middle East, South Asia, and now Australia. My approach bridges data science, product strategy, and automation architecture, converting complex business processes into measurable outcomes. From establishing AI Factories to launching Zero Trust security programs, the work has delivered 35% cost reductions, 300% ROI, and 99.9% uptime.
“I’m passionate about shaping intelligent enterprises where AI, data, and human creativity converge to build adaptive, high-performing organisations.”
Currently pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) at Guglielmo Marconi University, Rome, researching how AI and Automation drive Business Efficiency. Also serving as President of Pro AI Global (Australia). Outside work I teach AI and automation online through SyncBricks, on YouTube and through courses at lms.syncbricks.com.
Recent analysis on agentic AI, MCP, and leadership.
Short-form analysis drawn from real production engagements, not vendor narratives.
55 AI Agents in Production: The Full Playbook (300% ROI, 35% Cost Cut)
How we shipped 55+ autonomous agents at 300% ROI and 35% cost reduction. Phase-by-phase playbook from an operator, the unsexy moves the 5% that ship actually do.
Read analysisWhy AI Factories Beat AI Projects (The 95% Pilot Problem)
95% of GenAI pilots never ship. Factories do. Why reframing AI as a durable factory, not a project, unlocks the 300% ROI the pilots kept promising.
Read analysisThe 7-Phase AI Transformation Roadmap (From a Real Operator)
The 7-phase roadmap I used to ship 55+ agents at 300% ROI. In-order phases, hard gates, the pitfalls, no consulting deck, just the sequence that actually works.

How to build Model Context Protocol servers your security team will actually approve: SSO, audit trails, tenant isolation. The handbook, from an operator shipping MCP.

Fractional Chief AI Officer: what it does, what it costs (A$8–25k/mo), when to hire, when to skip. The buyer's guide that separates operators from slideware.
Read analysisWhy 95% of AI Pilots Fail, And the 5 Patterns in the Survivors
MIT says 95% of GenAI pilots never reach production. RAND puts the project-value failure rate at 80%. The survivors all do the same five unsexy things in the same order. Here they are.
