Cut through the noise.
Scale with confidence.

The learning technology landscape is impossibly complex. I provide honest, practitioner-led guidance for leaders making high-stakes decisions - and help tech companies reach them.

For Learning Leaders

You are drowning in demos and analyst reports that don't fit your reality. I translate vendor promises into practical business reality for startups and scale-ups.

  • Uncompromising Honesty: If a tool isn't right, I say so.
  • Practitioner Lens: Advice from someone who has sat in your seat for 30 years.
  • Trusted Connections: Direct introductions to the right tech partners, bypassing the sales noise.
  • No Fluff: Deep-dive reviews and "what actually matters" guides.

The Practitioner's Voice

I am not an analyst. I am not a vendor.

I have spent 30 years in the learning leader's seat - building stacks from scratch, managing renewals under budget pressure, and scaling programmes from 50 to 5,000 users.

I know what keeps you up at night because I've lived it. Now, I use that experience to help you make decisions based on genuine fit and proven value, not marketing noise.
