About Sheila

I help organisations turn AI experimentation into secure, scalable business results.

With leadership experience in banking, insurance and digital services, I work with organisations at the forefront of generative AI adoption to integrate AI into real products, customer journeys and operating models — including digital experiences designed to engage younger audiences.

Clients typically bring me in to:
  • turn AI ambition into a clear adoption roadmap and funded priorities
  • set up practical guardrails that enable safe AI scale
  • secure the move from pilot to reliable production deployment
  • align product, data, risk and business teams to accelerate delivery
  • redesign customer journeys and service models using AI
  • design AI-enabled product experiences that effectively engage younger audiences
Recent impact:
  • –60% onboarding time and +40% conversion through AI-enabled journey redesign
  • –32% contact centre demand by scaling trusted self-service
  • Agent productivity ×2 and +82 NPS in AI-driven service transformation
  • Identified new digital experience models increasing youth engagement (e.g. second-screen usage linked to ~30% higher engagement)
I typically support AI transformation programmes, adoption diagnostics, governance setup and product experience redesign initiatives.
