I am the CEO & Co-Founder of OctaiPipe. OctaiPipe delivers trustworthy AI for IoT, to protect the world’s critical infrastructure by placing intelligent device performance, security, privacy, and resiliency right at the heart of connected devices. We enable AI in IoT to scale, through trust.

If AI enabled devices are trusted, then they can be more easily scaled. OctaiPipe's mission is to provide scientists, engineers, and developers the tools to ensure the safety, security and monitoring of edge AI devices to protect physical systems and the people that depend on them, as well as to unlock new levels of device, machine, and infrastructure intelligence.

My personal focus is to drive strategy and innovation which delivers business growth, as well as social and environmental impact. At OctaiPipe, this means that I have the privilege of leading a team of incredibly talented people. Our goal is to advance trustworthy AI technologies, across the full spectrum of edge computing, to enable machine intelligence that keeps critical systems and the people that depend on them safe. Our core focus is on the optimisation of federated learning for IoT as a core technology to delivering trustworthy AI in IoT systems.

Outside of my professional life I am also a keen amateur high performance sailor, hiker, diver and traveler.
