It’s not that you’ve ignored AI.
It’s that no one has shown you where to start in a way that fits your firm.
You’ve seen the posts. You’ve heard the questions.
And deep down, you know AI isn’t going away.
But between client demands, staff shortages, and partner pressures, you haven’t had the time or the headspace to figure out what actually makes sense for your firm.
Meanwhile:
Competitors are posting about AI-enhanced client experience
Your team is quietly dabbling
You’re wondering if you've missed something important
This isn’t about falling behind.
It’s about getting ahead, calmly, clearly, and in a way that works for your people.

Practical, private AI support for firms who don’t have time to waste
I help professional services leaders adopt AI in a way that is safe, realistic, and commercially smart
Not trend chasing
Not theory
Just clear, confidential support that makes your firm faster, sharper, and more confident
Firms usually bring me in when:
A client or investor asks about AI
Proposal or delivery timelines are under pressure
The team is experimenting without structure
They want to stay ahead quietly
This isn’t a big transformation project
It is a smart first move and it can start with a single conversation
New to AI training. Not new to firms like yours
I’ve spent over 20 years inside professional services, including senior roles as Head of Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer. For the past decade, I’ve worked as a fractional CMO supporting partners in law, accountancy, and consulting firms across Ireland and the UK.
I now bring that same strategic clarity to AI
I’ve helped firms integrate AI into their client-facing work, developed custom GPTs, and delivered practical training for senior leaders and teams.
What sets me apart is context, I understand how firms operate, where pressure builds, and what actually moves the needle for partners, clients, and the bottom line.
You don’t need a tech evangelist. You need someone who understands how firms run and how AI can quietly help them run better.
