My career began with a 23-year British Army service, including roles as Senior Information Systems Specialist in Afghanistan and Warrant Officer at the MOD Joint Security Coordination Centre. These roles honed my leadership, project management, and risk management skills, forming a strong foundation for public sector transition. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Building Surveying (Distinction) and a Level 7 Leadership and Management qualification from the City and Guilds Institute. My credentials include Fellow Chartered Manager (FCMI), Chartered Construction Manager (MCIOB), Associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (AssocRICS), and Professional Member of the British Computer Society (MBCS), reflecting my commitment to professional excellence. I have completed certifications in Data Literacy Fundamentals, AI Fundamentals, and Data Governance Fundamentals, equipping me to incorporate AI and data-driven decision-making into asset management. These skills enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and deliver community value. As Chair of Wiltshire Council’s Armed Forces Network, I champion veteran integration and well-being. Recognising AI’s transformative potential, I foster innovative solutions to address challenges, collaborating with cross-functional teams and external partners to align strategies with community needs. I advocate ethical AI deployment, adhering to regulations and best practices to maintain public trust. By fostering transparency and engaging stakeholders, I ensure AI initiatives benefit residents and stakeholders, creating an inclusive local government. Aligned with Wiltshire Council’s objectives, I advance AI initiatives that streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and personalise services. Through innovation and continuous improvement, I contribute to delivering high-quality services and improving residents’ lives. AI offers opportunities to transform public services. Thoughtful implementation can address challenges, improve responsiveness, and set a benchmark for local government innovation. Strategic planning and collaboration ensure Wiltshire Council harnesses AI’s potential for impactful outcomes.
