My perspective on innovation, transformation, and technology is both empathetic and subversive, challenging the status quo and helping people to recognise and bridge the gap between their external stories and internal behaviours. My philosophy, Cyborg Shamanism™, merges ancient wisdom, living systems, indigenous community practices, and digital technologies to provide a framework for a more sustainable future. Through my Ancestors Retreats and consulting services, I provide individuals with the tools and practices they need to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. I have over 20 years of experience in transforming cultures to nurture decentralised innovation environments and have worked with some of the world's leading organisations and institutions, including Natwest Bank, Google, Unilever, Sainsbury's, The British Council, and The Tate Modern.

I encourage businesses to embrace the idea of being a good ancestor, prioritise long-term thinking, diversity, inclusivity, belonging and sustainability, and create immersive environments and experiences that prioritise well-being and ethical responsibility. As a result of adopting my holistic approach, businesses can expect to foster deeper connections with their employees and customers, drive innovation, and leave a positive legacy for future generations.
