The responsible implementation of artificial intelligence is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In the past decade, I have advised over a hundred organisations on how to effectively harness data, analytics, and AI. My unique technical and commercial leadership experience allows me to effectively design, develop, and deploy new digital capabilities—driving measurable impact.
Currently, I am advising private equity on operational improvement through technology. Until recently, I was the Chief Strategy Officer of Appsbroker CTS, the largest Google Cloud consultancy in EMEA, where I helped organisations step change their operations through innovative technologies such as generative AI. Before that, I was the Chief Ecommerce Officer of the Middle East's largest luxury retailer, after serving on the executive team as their Chief Data Officer.
Previously, at Dyson, I was the Director of Data, where I worked on topics as diverse as machine learning for digital motor manufacturing and advanced automotive analytics. At Google, I led the development of the global sales analyst curriculum (later Analytical Academy) after and many executive summits and years uncovering new ways of deriving insights from Google's data.
I have been named one of the top 100 people in data-driven business, top 50 data innovators, and top 10 data futurists. My surname is pronounced "Roy-yen". Start-ups I have supported include Uncrowd, Omni, Flexa, and Chimnie.
